I did. I was about 8. I found something for me in my mom's closet & it wasn't wrapped. It was something I really wanted so I was very happy. It was another week until Christmas, so I had to keep the secret. On Christmas morning though I was really disappointed because I unwrapped it & already knew what it was. I wished I'd never peeked & I never did again. I guess sometimes you want the surprise more than the gift.
