Do you remember these stockings sold in the department stores like Woolworth's long ago?
Photo from Pinterest.
Did we ever get one? Hmmm, I don't think so , but we did have red felt stockings which were placed at the bottom of the tree for Santa to stuff.
On Christmas morning, my sister and I would rush to the tree, and of course discover our stockings stuffed with an orange, crayons and a coloring book. That reminds me... my aunt would gift us underwear - usually Days of the Week undies too. Remember those? EEEK! Not a kids favorite gift but useful nonetheless. Hee! Hee! LOL We really did appreciate our undies , but it is fun to laugh about it.
Raise your hands if you got underwear or socks for Christmas? 😀
Aaw, such warm Christmas memories... 🤗❤
This year I did not hang my girls' stockings on the mantle. Instead I hung a few of my redwork ornies. I wonder if my girls' will notice. I doubt it.
Anywhoo... this brings me to my latest Speaking of Christmas stitch called "The Stockings".
It is all nestled in the little dough bowl with the other pin pillows from the series. I will work on another one this evening.

Well Sweeties, that is my Saturday rambles. I am curious.
What was in your stockings as a kiddo? Did you have any gifts that you hoped you would not get like undies?
May your day be magical and full of joy sprinkled with candy cane kisses!
