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
