I've got a suggestion for Present Peeking. It's not peeking at presents, but a child peeking at his mom decorating a Christmas tree. Tropes Are Flexible, after all. What say you?

As long as it looks good at wiki size, I'm good with it pending other suggestions.

Looks good to me.

Tropes are flexible, yes, but not that flexible. The trope is "person finds and peeks at a present in advance; hilarity generally ensues" not just "person looks at something surreptitously".

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

[up] Ah, ok. I didn't realize it was that different. I thought that this trope could be played in many ways. smile Oh well.

Unfortunately I don't have any other suggestions.

Yeah, seems too far off from the trope to qualify. Which is a shame because the image is lovely.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

I have no idea why this was closed; I unlocked it and moved it back to IP.
