Christmas Activities

Stocking Central

Well, I finally got into the spirit. Normally, I am all about Christmas but this year was a bit different. So, I am behind in terms of shopping, wrapping and decorating. Mark boosted me along last week by bringing down all the Christmas boxes and we got started sorting through things.

Here's one of my favorite things to do this time of year...fixing stockings for family members. I love finding little goodies to put in there! We kicked off gift-giving yesterday by spending time with my stepdaughter with dinner and a gift exchange. She will be headed up north for a few weeks so we did an early Christmas and had a really, really nice time with her.

It is kind of hard to get in the spirit when I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt today!!

Oh I love stuffing stockings for people! My favorite was several years ago when I cross stitched a stocking for my sister and stuffed it full of her favorite goodies.
