Christmas presents can test the strength of even the most patient of people. Whether it be the shiny wrapping paper or the intriguing shape that entices you in, gifts during the festive period possess a certain power over your senses.

Even when you know what is inside, it’s hard not to want to instinctively tear away the perfectly pressed paper and disregard the ribbon. This feeling is only intensified when you are clueless as to what’s inside the innocuous parcel underneath your Christmas tree.

So, with that in mind, can you imagine not opening a present for 47 years? For Adrian Pearce from Edmonton in Canada, that is exactly what he has done.

In 1970, Pearce was given a gift by his then-girlfriend, Vicki. Pearce was madly in love and thought that he and Vicki would always be together. However, Vicki had other plans in mind.

On the same day that she gave him the present she unceremoniously dumped him. Devastated by the unfortunate turn of events, Pearce stormed off home where he threw the gift under his family’s Christmas tree.
