Stocking Stuffers


As you can see from this picture we have a number of Christmas stockings hung on our fireplace. When I was a kid we didn’t have stockings so a few years ago when we moved into this house and had such a great mantle I decided we needed to have them.

Last year I went to the dollar store and found these that had iron decals so I could put everyone’s name on the stockings (make note: they don’t come with spell check if you make a mistake and transpose letters, you have to go and buy a new one- but that’s another story).

I put the stockings up on the day I put up the tree but it was just a week or so ago that I saw Kyle over feeling the toe of his. I always thought that stockings got filled on Christmas Eve by Santa? After catching him I have started putting things in all of the other stocking and his is still empty. Now I have all the stocking stuffers bought and Kyle’s are hid because I keep them in our bedroom.

Now here’s where I have to admit that I can’t remember where I put one of Kyle’s stocking stuffers. I know I had it here in the house, I just can find it anywhere and I have no clue where it might be. It’s looking like I will have to go and buy another one before Christmas Eve. See what happens when I try and harass my husband. If I would have just put it in the stocking when I brought it home last week I wouldn’t be in this situation

Aunt Karen, I pray in Jesus' name that you find the stocking stuffer so you don't have to go buy a new one. So far, my track record is perfect when it comes to praying for lost things. The longest it took me to find something was 10 months, but nevertheless, it was found!! Thank you Jesus!! Keep me posted.

Karen; Ha! Christmas morning I remembered an special sports ornament I had purchased for Kevin, but it was no where to be found! I still can't figure out what became of it...maybe left at the store by the clerk? Hope you found your item!
