Huckleberries Online

Sarah Palin Wild Card

So, I got the bulk of my Christmas shopping done early this year, and instead of sipping cocoa and smiling serenely, I'm super stressed.

Why?

Because when you live in a houseful of snoopy kids you have to get very creative about where to hide their gifts. This year I must have been inspired. I was so creative that I can't remember where I stashed most of the loot. Seriously.

I tore my bedroom apart last night and came up empty handed (unless you count a box of candy canes I found under the bed that I'm pretty sure are from last year-- or the year before).  If you know where I hid my kid's Christmas presents please let me know.

Use this Wild Card to speculate on likely hiding places or anything else that needs speculating.

PM: I've learned a couple useful things today: #1 Write down where you hid the Christmas presents. #2 Holding down the control button and scrolling back and forth is way more fun than it sounds. #3 Maybe eggnog for lunch wasn't the best choice.
