Do you fill your own stocking?

Hubby does mine and I do his for the most part. That said, Santa is still very real in our house. Sometimes, if Santa is giving something to everyone, I have to buy all 5 and then give him one to wrap for me. Outside of that, it's his job.

Until my youngest was about 10yo I had a second set of “Santa wrapping paper” that was hidden in a box they’d never bother looking in the basement. It was a big horde I’d gotten for $.01 each at an Ikea after holidays sale that was folded hand-made style red paper. Every year they’d get presents from Mom and Dad in the same paper the rest of the family’s presents were wrapped and Christmas night these red wrapped presents would materialize.

I also made sure to use different handwriting and marker for those lol. Just thought it was fun not to have these clues And gave us a use for all that cool paper!

Stockings are one of my favorite traditions of Christmas. When I was little, they were the best part - all of the little treats and fun surprises! When we got married, we naturally melded our favorite family traditions to create our own for us and now our son, and that includes stockings! I enjoy shopping for "stocking stuffers" all year long for them and my mom(who never had a stocking when my siblings and I were younger - but my dad didn't either to my recollection). My husband takes care of mine and if he sees something that would be fun for our son's(now 20), he also picks that up to add to his stocking. Side note: he also wraps EVERYTHING for everyone except for himself - our son and I do those.
