Today he has been making me stand with my hands across my eyes, to take Polaroid photos of me.

So, this morning he took one of me next to the Christmas tree with my eyes closed. I couldn't open them until he'd left the room.

Then he's done a few more at random places across the day....

I don't want to get my hopes up but what is he hiding!? What is this about!!!

Excited but still need to keep my cool just in case it's something completely different haha.

Will update!!

Really? That particular trend has fortunately passed me by, are you quite young OP? I’m 33 and it seems really puerile to me.

no one cares what it seems like to you! It’s not about you, would you believe and no one asked for your opinion. Why don’t you just move your superiority off to another thread and stop looking down on someone who was just excited and trying to be happy. You’re acting like a mean girl in high school, not a 33 year old adult. Ffs, it’s Christmas Day, someone is just hoping they get a proposal. No one cares that you think it’s whatever you think it is that makes you ‘better’ and above it all. What was the point of saying any of that, no one was asking!

Weirdly a lot of bitter, self-important posters on this sweet thread! Pay them no mind.

Can't wait to hear what it is OP!

Well, it's a good job it isn't happening to you, isn't it? Honestly, what the hell even is the point in comments like yours!? Do you just randomly say 'I don't understand' in normal conversations in real life? Because if you do, people will get the impression that you aren't quite all there.

OP, please ignore the unkind and somewhat slow people on this thread, who have nothing better to do than snipe and pretend not to understand anything that was invented after about 1980. Most of us are rooting for you.

Is your reference to "unkind" posters deliberately ironic?
