Stockings are opened Christmas morning, probably at 3-4 in the morning. What kid can honestly wait? For heaven sakes, even college kids like mine!! I just found your blog on Kara's and I can't wait to try some of your Christmas fav's. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190513462569145743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264745114955941748.post-33047176585676083742009-12-11T21:06:06.647-05:002009-12-11T21:06:06.647-05:00Our family opens gifts the EXACT SAME WAY!

At my parents house...we also get up at like 5-6 in the morning :) All the kids (me, sis, and bro) get to open our stockings...but then we have to wait for our parents to get up to open any gifts. First we open our gifts from each other...and then my parents give us their gifts to us. <br /><br />One year we opened our gifts from each other before my parents got up. We got in HUGE trouble. It may've been my idea.

Move on. <br /><br />We wrap our stocking stuff too. Er, Santa does. When I was little, my brother and I always got an orange at the bottom of our stocking. My kids Hate the orange thing, so we do apples. An apple in the toe. I don't even know why. It's just the way it is. ;) I love the idea of bringing them all in to bed and doing them together. We might have to try that this year. <br />I wish you all the happiest of Christmases this weekend. Enjoy the time. <br /><br />XO*TTriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189315836215119463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264745114955941748.post-63269928300001656802009-12-11T12:17:44.277-05:002009-12-11T12:17:44.277-05:00Santa does not wrap the things in our stockings (w...Santa does not wrap the things in our stockings (which are too heavy to leave hung up, so once filled they get placed on the fireplace), and he doesn't wrap the presents he leaves under the tree, but all the presents from Mom and Dad are wrapped. How fun that it's "Christmas Eve" for you! If you go MIA for a little while again, I will totally understand. ;) Have fun and I can't wait to hear all about it!This Texas Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314007933932112857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264745114955941748.post-63427425147131808362009-12-11T10:06:40.546-05:002009-12-11T10:06:40.546-05:00i have been talking and talking and talking about ...i have been talking and talking and talking about how much I miss stockings. <br /><br />I love that yours get filled.Summer Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939539950520941901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264745114955941748.post-19495006304775434282009-12-11T09:27:19.078-05:002009-12-11T09:27:19.078-05:00This is so cool!

So on Dec. 6th we'd come downstairs to find our stockings filled with stuff from St. Nicolas. It was so cool and a fun early Christmas gift. Since we've grown up and moved away, my mom will sometimes send the items to us, but sometimes she forgets! :-) We don't wrap the things in our stockings, that's a lot of work! haha <br /><br />Have fun doing stockings this year! It is so cute and I think I might just start this tradition next year with the hubby!Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854536519219675346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264745114955941748.post-15396957426486090382009-12-11T09:03:13.770-05:002009-12-11T09:03:13.770-05:00Love your stockings!!
