Title: Children spilling the beans at Christmas

Has anything similar happened to any of you?
My eldest (3 yrs old) has spoiled my Christmas surprise by coming up to me and telling me that 'the postman bringed racing car DVDs'
Not too dissimilar from when I was about 3 and went shopping for my mums Christmas present with my Dad, on Christmas eve At 5 PM. In 1978. When we got home I told mum that I knew what she was getting for Christmas, and could I tell her? She said no, so I asked if I could give her a clue. She agreed to this, so I cunningly informed her that you could take photographs with it. ::)

I remember when my youngest brother was about 8 years old.
He'd asked for a bike for xmas.
So it was duly bought and stored in next door's spare bedroom (Lily was here name).
Now as you can imagine, any 8 year old is in and out of the neighbours all the time......and so it was, that about 5 days before xmas, he came running down the garden path in a state of extreme excitement shouting....'I don't need a bike for xmas, there's one my size in Lily's spare room!!
....and a mate who's dad bought him a front and rear light for a bike for his birthday in late November......'But I don't have a bike Dad' he stated........'wait and see son' came the reply.
Guess what he got for xmas!

I guess I should say "thankfully", but both my kids believe implicitly.
Christmas Day came and went, the kids were in awe of the illusive "Father Christmas".
Marvelllous.
