The Story of How I Found my Christmas Presents - General

[b]Intro:[/b] Hi, my name's Avery and I'm 14 years old. This is the story of how I found my hidden Christmas presents for the first time. [b]Prelude:[/b] Attempting to find the gifts hidden about my house is not something I have tried many times in my life, however when I have made my attempts, I went at it with [highlight]ninja[/highlight] determination. I would search under every bed, in every closet, in every dark corner of every less-used room, but I would never yield a find. This year was different. [b]The Story[/b] What motivated me to launch another hunt this year was the fact that I had put together a pretty solid Christmas List, and by that I mean that I had a lot of stuff I really want on it. [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=19024945&postcount=60]List[/url] Ok, so as you can see from the list - all the items are ordered online... a key element in my hunt. Knowing that all the items would come with the mail would give me time to prepare myself for the search ahead. It was a Friday afternoon and I had just gotten home from school. I went to the mailbox to acquire the daily mail, and I noticed, among this was a small package addressed to my mother from Gamestop. I knew that this would lead me to the rest of the stash, so I place it on the kitchen counter, where I knew my mother would find it, and then add it to hiding spot. As I knew she would, my mother picked it up and walked away it upon seeing it. [b]And so begins the chase.[/b] I followed my mother upstairs, making light conversation with her as I did. Once, we reached the top of the stair case my mother immediately stepped into the bathroom, package in hand, and locked the door behind her. This was when I thought to myself; Fool! She will never stash the package if she knows you're around! So what did I do? I headed back down the stairs, but only half way... Half way down I stopped descending, but continued to step in place (as if I was going all the way down the stairs). I then ducked behind the small wall between me and the bathroom. My mother emerges from the bathroom and immediately turns the small closet to her right, bingo. Once again I think to myself; You cotten-headed-ninny-muggins! The one closet you never checked! Finally with knowledge of the goods were stashed, I [highlight]ninja[/highlight] dashed down the staircase and into the kitchen where I pretended to be struggling with a jar of peanut butter as my mother came down the stairs. She looked at me quizzically and continued on her business. [b]Mission Success[/b] An hour later I found an opportune moment to return and check out the rest of the closet. Among its usuall garbage I found everything on my list. I thought to myself one more time; Looks like this Christmas is shaping up to be a jolly good time, old chap'! [b]After Thoughts[/b] I realize how childish this is, and how most of you have probably done this time and time again. But, this was my first successful raid, so gimme some slack. :downs: [b]Thank you and good night[/b]

Mail them to me.

I remember when I first did this [editline]09:50PM[/editline] When I was 5

This is what everybody does

The best prize is a surprise. Now its just no fun.

^ then get them to buy another set of them and mail it to me

Never bothered.

It is a pretty good list isn't it?

I've tried. But I never looked too hard.

Way to ruin the surprise. :colbert: My parents hide them in their room, in plain sight from the door. I've known this for 5 years, not once have I done so much as take a peek in there.

I have no such fun. I bought the Christmas presents for my family, myself included, with my own money.

Ha, my present a 27" monitor was impossible to hide so my parents just stuck it behind their door.

You never listed what you wanted for Christmas. You fail. EDIT: Shit, I thought the word "Link" was a dirty trick, didn't look like a link at all

Great thread read. :D I hate surprises, I buy my own presents, then sell them to my family.

I'm not getting anything this Christmas, because I don't want anything. Gonna give gifts instead.

my parents hide my stuff right next to my room and i just asked my dad to wrap one to know where the wrest are and the furthest away from there room separated by 3 doors and across the house. btw im 13 soo

[QUOTE=EvilFlames;19090169]Yes, he did. Dumbfuck[/QUOTE] You don't know what my IQ is so you're the dumbfuck!

I stopped seriously reading after you stated that you are 14. I skimmed along and this is dumb. Nice job, though.

You guys are silly

Steelseries. :smug:

I've looked for my presents, it ruins the surprise.

Spoiling your presents is for fags.

There's nothing to spoil if you make a list.

i found them when I was little whne playing hide and seek

I found a box outside my house from Valve quite recently, I think I know what it is. I just wanted to get the mail

i didn't realize ninjas were known for their determination

I remember when I found out Santa isn't real. I walked into my parents' room and found a present addressed to me from Santa. I'd already had suspicions, but this was the proof that convinced me. I think this was before kindergarten.
