Stocking Stuffers:
Stocking have always been a huge part of my life when I was growing up .
I knew and looked forward to some basic staples that were in there each and every year.
A few years ago my mom's fireplace was crowded with stockings and she ran out of room for them there and she made the comment about next year only putting up the grandkids..........
UMMMMM say what?
We all chimed in and let her know that do away with our Christmas gifts but not our stockings.
That's just how important our stocking are to us.
Now my mom puts all 5 grandkids stocking on the mantle and on the built in shelf beside it she hangs: mine, Nick, Rusty, Amanda, Bradley, & Daddy.
Stocking Must Haves:
Reese's Trees
a funny story about these:
Every year as far as I can remember these have been a staple but about 5 years ago my mom had a lot going on and when she went to pick these up for us they were sold out. She thought oh well I will get something else and it will be no big deal.............
THAT'S WHERE SHE WAS WRONG!!!!!
I even think we all cried about them not being in there and saying everything under the sun to the effect that Christmas was ruined because the Grinch didn't think we needed Reese's trees.
Let's just say she now understands how important these are to us and will never make that mistake again. She learned her lesson. Now it is a running joke...got the trees?
At Easter we get the eggs and valentines we get the hearts.
It's our thing. Who said the best things in life were expensive?
We all know there is nothing like a good ole Sonic drink
and ponytails
even though each year my mom complained if you would keep up with the 100 I bought you last year
my brothers always got something hunting or fishing related.
the other few items were a surprise but these items were a must.
These are where traditions and memories are made from. I cant remember everything I have received from Christmas last year and I know that is sad but I know these small things each year and would know if I didn't get them. That is the stocking tradition at my parents house.
