Dear Internet Fairy: Pls return my moral compass posthaste.

So my dad bought me the printer/scanner thing I asked for, and now I need some moral advice. I'd asked for this as a combination birthday/Christmas/ew Year's present, because of the cost, but in his e-mail he only mentions my birthday, and says it'll be delivered somewhere between tomorrow and Friday. I'm usually very concientious about not opening Christmas presents until Christmas Eve, but not so much for birthday presents, and also, I could really use this already. So, do I presume it's a birthday present, and open it early? Do I wait until I'm back from Belgium to open it? Do I wait until my birthday? Help?

I'm running a bit late this year in putting my Christmas tree up, largely because I broke the foot of mine somewhere in the last eleven months, and I can't seem to find a new one for a reasonable price. So this afternoon, we go to Pound Savers and get a tree, and put it up, and we go get an advent calendar, and, er, stuff. (Can you tell it's Patch Day? Heh.)

And Christmas cards! I need to start writing Christmas cards! I'm sure if bring them to work i'll get them all done in no time!
