"Hi, I'm Jessica Cane with expertvillage.com and I'm here to show you how you can unwrap, take a peek at your Christmas presents and re-wrap them without anyone knowing. Okay, so I've got my Christmas present here ready to be unwrapped, and if you watched my segment on how to wrap a Christmas present, you'll know that there's a lot of tape and it's very neatly done and it's probably hard to get into. But I'm going to show you how to do it. All you need is a pair of scissors and some see through tape. Just start with one edge and you'll want to make a small incision right at the line of the tape. And you just make a little cut on the corner and then after that it's pretty easy. You want to be careful that you don't lift it up too hard and just be sure to cut on the line where the paper has been folded."
