Christmas Stockings

My mother spent countless hours cross-stitching each of us a Christmas stocking. The kids get SO excited about their stockings and it often seems like it's the little things one puts into a stocking that really makes their Christmas.


The gift that keeps on giving.... Not only did Mom make the stockings, but she also sends a huge box of stocking stuffers each year. Trust me, she thinks of everything! She also does this a good month or more in advance. Mom is always planning WAY early. Why didn't I inherit that gene? :) This year she went over the top and some things may have to be wrapped and put under the tree. Thanks Mom! We treasure these stockings. Thanks also for always filling them up to over flowing!

I love that she stuffs them and even helps you get things under the tree. I wish I were able to do the cross stitching like that..they are beautiful.
