Stocking Stuffers
Ranked #17,215 in Holidays & Celebrations, #300,411 overall
What they are and a few ideas
I don't think that it matters if you are 8 or 80... Christmas stockings bulging with goodies is hard to resist! So, just how many stocking stuffers do you think should be in a stocking?? And do you remember anything that was in your stocking when you were a kid? Now this is going to sound odd, but I remember the Christmas Stocking more vividly than any gift I ever received. We always found a tangerine, some ribbon candy (covered in lint) Christmas Creams (my dads favorite candy strangely enough;) lots of nuts in the shell. I don't remember ever receiving a toy or tiny gift item. It was always candy, and nuts... other than the tangerine. And oh yes, Santa always stuffed a candy cane into each stocking after he arranged our lot onto the tree!
You realize that you have just given out all of your stocking stuffers for this year. Time to start making a list of what you might want to pick up for next year!Contents at a Glance
