Can it be?

The kids received their first Christmas gifts today. Can it already be that time of year?  Naturally, I can't let them know they have gifts or else they will beg, cry, and sneak around until they figure out what they are. Even more naturally, I haven't given one thought to what I'm buying my own kids while others have already delivered their packages. Oh well, at this rate, if I wait long enough, I might not have to buy them any gifts at all.
