Now please, dont think I am just trying to be a buzzkill, but I do believe i have a point....Just wait until January, and have it be a real SURPRISE

I really like your analogy. The kick-off is your opportunity to finally open the REALLY BIG box that has been sitting under the tree. All the guessing, speculation and rumors leading up to kick-off are analogous to shaking the box to try to figure out what might be inside, even though you don't really want to know until you get to unwrap it. The official FIRST hint (when it comes out) is like that little tear in the wrapping paper that almost lets you make out part of the UPC code on the side of the box.

You are right in that the best part is finally being able to "unwrap the box" and see the surprise inside on January 8. But still, I don't think that there is one amoung us that, as a kid, didn't shake the box occasionally!
