I’m a gypsy & we have a rule about when we can open gifts – the Christmas Day ‘surprise’ country folk do isn’t for us
A GYPSY woman has revealed the unique present rules she and her partner have at Christmas time.
And it means she doesn’t follow the ‘country folk’ tradition of opening gifts on Christmas Day itself – instead choosing to ruin the surprise early.
TikTok’s Suzy, aka @cuzinsuzy92, explained more about her way of doing things in a video posted to her social media profile in which she talks about the traveller lifestyle.
She said: “Mums, or your wives, or whatever, do you have your Christmas presents early?
“Or do you always have them as a surprise? Do you know what you’re getting? Do you not know what you’re getting?”
“Because I’ve always been the kind of person that gets my Christmas presents really early. – literally like two weeks before.”
Suzy then added that this has been the case for her for as long as she can remember, as she recalled getting “a surprise” on Christmas Day only once.
But she said that that’s exactly how she likes it, as she’d be “scared” about what she’d open if she hadn’t had a say in her gift.
She continued to ask her 210k followers if, like her, they had already had their Christmas presents, or would be waiting until the day itself.
Soon after she posted the clip, many others joined the debate – but the festive tradition split the internet down the middle.
On one hand, many agreed with Suzy and said they liked to choose theirs themselves and would have them as early as possible.
One person wrote: “I choose what I want and usually get it before Xmas because he can’t keep nothing quiet.
“He has to show me like an excited pup.”
Another agreed, as they added: “Mine is literally on my forehead – just had fresh brows microbladed.”
However, on the other hand, others said they wait until Christmas Day and get excited to see what’s inside their wrapping.
One TikToker typed: “Get mine on the day and he always surprises me which I like.”
Another chimed in: “If someone gave me mine early I wouldn’t turn up on Christmas Day. I love seeing what I get on the day.”
While another person said they were somewhere in the middle, as they explained: “I never get it early but I do know what I’m getting.”
Suzy’s thoughts on this? “Your patience is on point!
“I would be in there looking.”
