dunno if I'll get it though... usually I get one big thing and a few small things... and usually I ask for one thing, and a couple small things... so when christmas day rolls around, there's really not much surprise in what I'm getting... this year is different, as I put 3 or 4 big things and several small things... so now she's going to have a choice in what to get me, so it's going to be a surprise to me!

We do the same here. My surprise comes from the things my brothers get me, and some of the smaller stuff.
