Though I am a supporter of @SevenDad’s view (peeking at the Christmas presents early is a punishable offense at my house 
)
A heads up would have been nice last year… Forcing a smile on my face through the day was a bit hard (there were a couple of other applicants in my group of friends and they all got at least one acceptance)… Esp since I had decided to check while in school (with my friends hovering nearby)…
But still won’t ask AtriaMum to check this year… Sigh… :-SS
