Oh, MAN! That's just plain CRUEL! It'd drive me crazy to know that a brand new REO was sitting under my tree and I couldn't get to it! Maybe try to "trade" her for one of the surprises you are getting for her so you could both open something fun just a tad bit (TODAY!) early..... Or.....go
buy her something she totally wants and BRIBE her to let you have it early. Or.....convince her that IF you have to wait 'til Christmas morning that you'll be so obsessed with it that you won't be able to participate in the rest of the day (e.g., helping her get Christmas dinner on the table...) so she should give it to you early so you can get past all the "newness" and be settled in to help her with things that need to get done on Christmas. Or....just be a good boy and wait 'til Christmas like you're supposed to.....
Seriously, congratulations on getting it. Yes, Rob is a gem for understanding how obsessive we all are about our little REOs and getting them mailed out very, very quickly. It's especially nice that he has made a BIG effort to get us our new orders here by Christmas. Mine arrived today and I'm just plain giddy. I'm
vaping one and just touching, caressing, and adoring the other one. Having his big sale on the 18490s so very close to Christmas, knowing that everybody would be waiting with baited breath to get theirs before Christmas....gutsy move. He could just as easily have waited a week and taken a little holiday time for himself, but he held the sale the week before Christmas then hustled to get them all out to us. Nice guy.
