Paul Nelson ReportingYou may think you need to hide the Christmas present from your children. However, a new survey says many adults are also trying to see what their gifts are before the big day.
It's no secret; kids want to see their presents before Christmas. According to a new survey by Harris Interactive, one out of five adults tries to sneak a peek too.
Paul: "Do you try to sneak a peek at your presents?"
Shopper: "Of course."
Paul: "How old are you?"
Shopper: "I'm 31."
Shopper: "I'm guilty, yes, I am."
Paul: "Can I ask you a personal question?"
Shopper: "64."
The survey says women do it more often then men. This woman doesn't buy that. Shopper: "I don't think surveys are right."
This shopper has a tip for anyone who really wants to hide their presents well. Shopper: "Don't hide it in the trailer." Paul: "Maybe I should write this down."
One man told me his wife is a peeker, and that's why he waits until the last minute to do his Christmas shopping.
