I have been thinking ,. . . . reading the rules and checking them twice, and they clearly state that WE cannot open our boxes till the 9th. . . . . BUT, nowhere does it say that we couldn't take our packages down to the naughty corner, have a few swigs of somethin naughty and play the age old traditional Christmas game where everyone sits in a big circle and passes their package one person to the left and then everyone opens the package in their hands. Technically we couldn't get in trouble because WE didn't open OUR package. . . . somebody else did!!!

And didn't someone already post that what happens in the naughty corner stays in the naughty corner??? I think this would work and we wouldn't even get in trouble for it!
