A Chicago man could be unwrapping the hundreds of Christmas gifts spread around his apartment for days, even weeks. Trouble is, they aren't really presents. They're his own belongings meticulously wrapped by friends as a prank while he was out of town.
 
Louie Saunders' packages contain everything from couch cushions to the beer in his refrigerator.
 
His friend Adal Rifai masterminded the scheme after Saunders gave him aspare key. It took 16 people 35 rolls of wrapping paper and eight hours to finish the job.
 
Saunders told the Chicago Sun-Times he's only been able to unwrap about 10 percent of the packages.
 
He jokes that the upside is that, with each package he unwraps, he finds something inside that's just what he needs.
