WHAT'S IN YOUR STOCKING?

Christmas Glitter Graphics

I remember as a child Santa used to leave a can of pop, an apple, an orange, barley toys candy and a special little wrapped present our stockings. Now that I have my own children Santa leaves mainly small toys and chocolate in their stockings. What did Santa leave for you in your stocking when you were a child? Is it any different from what he leaves for your children in their stockings?

I do remember the year I was 19 or so, Santa left me a carton of cigarettes in my stocking. Thank God I quit that!; 7 December, 2007 12:14 AM

I have carried on the tradition with my children, by going to an old fashioned candy store, and stuffing their socks with candy and oranges and some small items..toys when they were younger and now makeup....ect.; 7 December, 2007 1:44 PM

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls said...: As a kid, our stocking were full mostly of candy, along with one small (in size, not quality) gift. We do it the other way around for our kids, putting in mostly small gifts and just a tiny bit of candy. :); 7 December, 2007 3:06 PM

I'll do your memes and post the awards soon, my BBFF. Right now, I'm blogging in between meltdowns, which is usually spent checking up on other people's blogs.

Love ya, Moron!; 7 December, 2007 6:21 PM
