Christmas Stockings

[MrsC]

What is your stocking like and what would you like to find in it on Christmas morning?

[Flummery]

My stockings are long and slim and unfortunately what I want in them is bags (and bags and bags) of compost for next season's sowing! I would look like I had the world's worst case of varicose veins! As a non-driver the delivery of the compost is as good a gift as I can wish for. (Next to World Peace of course)

lmao, i agree! Could think of a few more, irrelevant whether they can fit in my stocking or not lol, they could just stand next to it!

Would need to be the wife's stockings that I hang up and would love to find her in them, but as she'll be eight months pregnant, I find it unlikely .
Still, there's always the girlfriend . JOKE !!!

It would have to be very large........................A barrel of Batemans XXXB
If a pair a barrel of Fullers London Porter in the other.

I have never had a stocking!!!

But when I was a kid, we used to have a pillowslip jam-packed with gifts. There was always an Annual and selection pack and loads of other exciting gifts!!
( are pillowslips smaller these days, or have I grown???)
My adult kids still have their stockings with a gift from Santa ( only if they 'admit' to still believing of course!!)

When the kids have finally flown the nest, I'm going to get a pair of socks for us oldies to hang up. I suppose they should really be red and white stripes?????
Any gift is a joy to me!!!

Oh, thanks for that Nicos,

brings back happy memories of childhood spent at My Grandparents house in Sutton Coldfield (strangely enough) - See Hazel's location and see Hazel's lips go thin and eyes narrow as I tell her that she reminds me of my Grndmother

We also had a pillowslip (haven't heard that in ages either) full of all sorts of goodies not forgetting the obligatory satsuma.

Aah, happy days

I would like a pillow case this year so I can squeeze in Robbie Williams and Jimmy Nesbit and a load of compost! OOOhhh dirty!

Hussey!!

GREEDY Hussey!

We had a pair of ordinary socks from the drawer - so once we got sense we made sure they were the longest rather than the nicest ones!! All the fruit went into them - a banana, apple, satsuma (or 2), some years a kiwi. Beside those, some form of confectionary (never a whole selection box, but maybe a half pound box of wine gums or something similar), a book, and then (up to a certain, acceptable belief, age) whatever toys were to be had.

I am the only one who is not necessarily at home for Christmas every year still, and the other 5 still get their fruit, sweets and book every Christmas morning!! And my mother still insists on putting out the mince pies, milk and carrot for Santa and the reindeers - the youngest is 23!!!
