Growing up, my grandmother used to have 7 matching stockings hanging on the banister of her steps filled with fun and funny goodies for each cousin. The stockings were opened first and it was the most anticipated event of the day. For my little family's first Christmas with kids old enough to enjoy it, we started the tradition of having only 1 stocking for the family instead of 1 for each person. Santa fills this stocking with unique fruit, a little good chocolate, and often a fun family game or activity. My seedlings spend weeks before Christmas guessing what type of fruit will be in the stocking. This year Santa is bringing persimmons and figs. ๐ฑ

Oh! I love that! When my kids were growing up stockings were their favorite part of Christmas.
Stockings are still my favorite part of Christmas!
