Xmas stockings

[sangria]

Do you and your H have them or just your kids?

[sangria]

Follow up-is it weird to have stockings when your house doesn't have a fireplace?

[Deleted]

We all do. Me, H, the kids, the dog, the cat.

[Jermys]

We all have them and we all get something from Santa

[looseseal]

Stockings for H and me, too. H is starting to gravitate away from my thoughts of stocking stuffers, though, and is just putting in things that fit into it size-wise. No, H, they are for small dollar amounts, too.

[revolution]

Everyone in my house has them, and they are personalized.

We don't have a fireplace.

[adhdfashion]

All of us! I think its my favorite part of Christmas.

No, but it makes me sad we don't have a fire place this year.   I guess we'll just put them on the the tv stand.

This is so tacky, but I want an electric fireplace.

eta: wait. I just realized that J is going to want to grab at the stockings. So I have no idea where we'll put them so they'll be out of her reach. Ugh.

We were in between homes when DD was 18 months and had no fireplace in our apartment.  I hung the stockings on the wall so she couldn't grab them.  LOL

We all have one. Ours are hand-me-downs, but I love them. My great aunt crocheted them for my parents.

[jane6672]

I have no children.

H and I have stockings.

[Kit]

We have them. I make H put stuff in mine!

[Deleted]

Everyone has one, including the grandparents who we typically do not see until the day after. Even the dog has one.

[BaliHai]

We have them, even for the cats. The baby will get her own this year, also, of course. No fireplace, and we just moved to a new place, so I'm not sure where we're hanging them yet.

[miniroller]

No kids, we both have always had them, & this is our 1st year w/ a fireplace- mini= STOKED!!!!

[Deleted]

We all do. My great aunt knitted mine when I was a baby, I knitted H's when we got engaged, and my mom knitted Andy's.

We all get goodies in them.

And without a fireplace, I hang them from the crown molding over the picture window. lol.

[Deleted]

H and I do and of course, the kitty cats.

[bania]

We have stockings. H, the dogs and I each have our own. We usually just fill the dogs' but this year we'll try to do each other's also.

There are some really nice electric fireplaces!  They aren't all cheesy.  I sometimes wish our gas was electric that way I can have the "flames" going without the heat because most of the time it's not cold enough in the house but I want the cozy ambiance.  

[sawyerthedestroyer]

We each have one, even the dogs and cat. H has never put anything in mine. Bastard.

[CurlyQ284]

We have them. I fill all of them including my own. DH really drops the ball every year at Christmas time.

[suzyp]

EVERYONE!

It's just me and DH. We both have our old ones from when we were little, but this year, since we're going to be by ourselves for the holidays, we are going to get matching ones. (He's so thrilled about this LOL!)

We didn't have a fireplace growing up. St. Nick (not Santa) filled our stockings and left them on the kitchen table. (They were pretty big and heavy, so even if we had a fire place, this likely would have happened). My Mom hung them on the stair case when not filled.

[mrsjuleshs]

We all have them. DD made them for the pets at one point but I never put those up.

[Yankees21]

No kids yet, but I have one for me, H, the dog, and the cat We don't have a fireplace downstairs so I just use the stocking holders.

[TrudyCampbell]

Everyone has one, including the dogs!

[wannabe]

Everyone has one, and they're all filled come Christmas morning.

But mine and the hub's are usually a bunch of gag gifts. Like he put a pack of butt wipes in mine one year, and I put gold bond powder in his.

[bonquiqui]

I have no kids, but I still have my childhood one.  I think my kitties should have some

[Deleted]

We have them too! I got ones w our initials on them.

Jake and I used to have a tradition, that I'd like to reinstate, of spending $10 at the dollar store to fill each other's. It was a lot of fun! Maybe we'll do that again this year.

[JayhawkGirl]

We have them for us and the kid(s). I need a name for this baby so I can order her stocking,

I, er, Santa, often puts a bottle of wine and a few little things like chocolates, socks, etc in DH's stocking

[WOT?*]

We're big kids. So yes to stockings. Where else do we keep the (chocolate) oranges?

[hisno1girl]

There are no stockings hung with care at my home.  I used to have them when the kids were at home but since they've all moved on, I just did away with them.  
I'm not a Scrooge. I love Christmas, I just don't like stockings.  

We always had stockings growing up and they were filled with a gigantic candy cane, other Christmas candy, nuts, and fruit.
