OK, I wanna know if any of you like to shake your Christmas gifts to try and decifer what's inside. I know tons of people do it to try and figure out what they have, so, do any of you guys try to "shake things up" around Christmas?

All I ask for and all I get are video games. And I can kinda tell the difference in size between a GameCube and Game Boy Advance game. So, shaking wouldn't do me any good. It's not going to tell what game is inside, now is it? That, and I don't see any gifts until the day of. :\

I don't. Except for whenever I help to set presents out under the tree, I don't really touch my presents at all. I don't think I wanna know what I have before then, anyways - if it's something good, I wanna be surprised on christmas morning, and not beforehand.

I always shake my presents, its easy to tell if its clothes or something else. But sometimes I unwrap it enough just to get a peek of what it might be XD.

Well, to be perfectly honest I do, lol. I don't shake them too hard, just incase something breakable is inside, but I kind of tilt the boxes a little and see how heavy they are. Still, even doing that doesn't really help much because my mom, and especially my grandfather, always tease my brother and I with our gifts.
One time my grandfather stuffed a huge box with heavy rocks, and I had to dig through them to find a little envelope with money inside of it. XD So, I usually can never tell what I'm getting... My family members are tricky ones. *shifty eyes*

Why do you want to know? *gasps* ARE THERE PRESENTS HERE?!

On topic, I shake my presents sometimes. I learned not to shake so hard when I was 10 and I broke an antique shot glass. (I collect, and sometimes use, them)

Not really, because something in the box could break since I don't know what it is. XP

When I got x-mas presents I use to do that long long ago. If I get presents again, I wont even bother doing so. I'll find out whats inside once I open them..

Why should I shake my presents if I already know what they are? My mom makes me pick out all my gifts so she knows it's what I really want. I know what they all are well before Christmas morning. And when I was younger... I just happened to stumble upon the hiding place for the gifts. So I never needed to shake the presents... just peek at them. ^^; That is, until my mom found out and started having everything shipped to her office at work instead of hiding them in the bathroom closet with the lock on it...

I don't shake - that tells you too little. Instead, I prefer to grope my presents! ^_^

Here's me on Christmas Eve:

"Game, game, sweatshirt, game, Donkey Konga, alarm clock, 24 Season Three, gun, drugs..."

All it takes is 3 minutes, and BOOM, I know what I'm getting. Heh, Christmas has become sooooo predictable. :P
