I have found that the kids adore putting gifts in stockings - it's so easy for them to make something small and stick it in, much easier than wrapping a traditional present. The adults' stockings are less full than the kids' stockings, too, which is just fine with my husband and me.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-61286915501917704872016-01-09T13:58:44.271-05:002016-01-09T13:58:44.271-05:00These are so lovely.

This year Hubby and I told the kids that stockings will only be for those who are actually here for Christmas. SO...I have a pitiful two hanging on the fireplace but I am so relieved to not be stuffing all those stockings. The exception is my parents and I sent those home with them when they were here for Thanksgiving.

There was much insistence this year on how the tree had to be decorated, what music needed to be playing at the time, and it culminated in a big family snuggle on the couch for a brief, momma-heart-delighting moment.

Good thing we only have 4 children! This was 25 years ago this Christmas, and while I've threatened to retire them for several years now, my children-the youngest being 17, can't stand the thought of having anything other than what they've always known.

I should throw away my terrible first attempt at sewing Matt and me stockings come January and force my hand for next year....<br /><br />Ben is adorable. Of course, I don't need to tell you that.

I hoped to make stockings yet for some of us that still need nice proper ones... but don't know yet if I'll get to it, so the old ones may still have to pass.
