Do Not Open Until X-Mas

I can't believe it.  My Kindle came today.  On Friday, Amazon had an awesome deal where they offered the Kindle for $100 off it's list price.  The sale started at 12:00 P.M. and starting at 11:30 A.M., I stared at the screen watching the countdown.  The minute the countdown clock hit 0 and the "Add to Cart" button appeared, I hit the button and added it to my basket.  Within 5 minutes, all of the Kindles available for the sale were sold out.

Now, here's the problem.  I was able to get one because I sold Mrs. Ellis on the idea that it would be for the "whole family," and now I have to wait until Christmas to open it.  There's no way I can make it 25 days.  I've wanted one of these since they came out, and now it's here...in my house...sitting 2 feet away from me...all wrapped in a box...that cannot be opened.   Bah Humbug!
