The kids have already got today's surprise set aside for Friday night ... movie night.
Four, small rectangular pillows with stockings and Christmas trees are perfect for propping up little heads while watching "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" or "Frosty the Snowman."
Some have even been practicing.
"Snuggies" ... this chorus as the wrapping paper made its descent tells the whole story.
Blankets with sleeves, in fact, which resemble Santa's red suit - white trimming, belt and all.
And after all the excitement, you find this ...
this ...
and this ...
lying around the house.
Today's clue suggested decorating with fun things ... even in the bathroom. Of course, this led to the return of the "big rabbit" guess from Alysse. It IS what every bathroom needs. Would someone please get this child a large bunny?
But definitely more fun than a gassy bunny is the Jolly in the John Snowman they found inside. Motion activated, this little guy makes wise cracks like "Are you okay? You look a bit flushed. Get it? Flushed." They bust out laughing every time Mr. Jolly John says that one.
I'm thinking bathroom visits of the future just got a little longer.
Oh what fun it is to watch as the wrapping paper flies.
Today's guesses included a shout out for "underwear." Yes, apparently a clue that references fun and a package that is soft and squishy equates to underwear.
Far more fun than underwear, though, was the real gift of holiday hats. Which, apparently, leave some room for interpretation depending upon the wearer.
Day four's package was one of those small ones that packs a big punch. A box just a bit larger than a letter-sized sheet of paper. But while not huge in size, the contents were a huge hit.
Titled a Christmas Box of Fun, the surprise contained holiday stencils, coloring and sticker books, and a learn-to-draw guide. In other words, everything little artists need to make wonderful creations for the season. 
Everyone got straight to work and our fridge is covered in a menagerie of snowflakes, Santas and stickered fun.
