Over the years, I have developed a process for handling the SS box. When it arrives on our porch, I hand it to my wife and she open it, to inspects the contents. If she finds anything edible, she gives it to me. Then she closes the box and puts it under the tree, until Christmas. WHY? Because I have heard of Secret Santa boxes that have pies in them.

That's what everyone is doing, except the 'wait' part varies. I say shake the package and if it doesn't yelp or squeak, you can wait to open it.
If by magic it appears under my tree I'll wait until Xmas - if I pull it out of the mailbox or it's sitting outside the garage (and with so many other packages coming I'm not going to know it's from Secret Santa) it's getting opened! No way I'm ceding "power" to the wife to open my stuff!!!! Our schedules are such that my stuff is usually opened and stashed away before anyone else knows I even got it!
