The Best Homemade Christmas Stockings Filled with Love
When I was a child, my mother would hand sew and personalize our unique Christmas stockings. She loved to add her personal touch to our unique Christmas stockings. She would sew a new one for each of us every year. Mom would find special nice Christmas material and create a pattern to cut out for each stocking. Once they were finished, she would embroider each of our names onto a stocking. Every Christmas morning, we would get up out of bed and run down to look at all of the cool Christmas gi...

A Christmas Stocking for Mom
A family Christmas memory of a special stocking
Mom's are generally the most overlooked person when it comes to Christmas. I speak in general terms because there are some Dad's who may prefer the Christmas preparation but I don't know any. Mom does the shopping for gifts, the wrapping and the decorating. Mom also is the one that decides what goes in each stocking for the good little girls and boys. The year before my mother's 80th birthday, I decided that I would make her the best stocking ever. I have to admit that even as a grown child ...

Cool Stocking Stuffers For Adults
Stockings can be Unique
