Everyone knows that waiting for Christmas to come can take forever...and most children do what ever it takes to find out what they're getting for Christmas. Including opening gifts and trying to rewrap them when their parents aren't home.Which is exactly what Joseph decided to do. So where do we go from here? Do we return the gifts and buy him new gifts? Do we just rewrap the gifts and let him get away with it? Do we cancel Christmas? Maybe talk to Santa about lumps of coal in his stocking?
While I'll admit to searching the house when I was younger trying to find gifts that I mite be getting for Christmas, I don't remember unwrapping and rewrapping presents. What to do, what to do...
As I'm writing this post, there is a story on the radio saying that adult women are worse that children in unwrapping and rewrapping presents. I guess that means I may have to worry just as much about my wife as I do my eldest son...

Just hide his present until bedtime on Christmas day, and then let him have it. You bought it for him, so you must want him to have it. Just make him sweat it out.
That's very funny. You could always take the gifts OUT of the boxes....
I know he is worried that he's not going to get a Christmas...even though I told him he would.
His punishment was to write a one page essay telling us what he did and why it was wrong. He wrote that last night...
"... he is worried that he's not going to get a Christmas."
That line got both Carrie and I both to say, "oh no." I remember, as a child (not as much these days) the stress that comes with Christmas and the anticipation of what I was going to get ... and most of all, waiting.
We were wondering what the punishment would be. A one page essay sounds right-on.
And Christmas in on! Woo-hoo!
