They were always filled with candy, nuts, and little random gifts from Santa. I LOVED stockings. </p> <p>With LO we will be doing the same :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1251764 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 00:17:32 +0000 fairy 1251764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone had stockings when I was growing up, filled with candy and small gifts like a necklace, socks, or lip balm, etc. My mom would fill her stocking with candy, too haha. </p> <p>Now in my home we have little stockings for everyone at least for decoration. Not sure if we'll put anything in our (adults) stockings but I was going to put pacifiers in the baby's stocking :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1251275 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 14:55:05 +0000 Bookish 1251275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all had stockings growing up, and everyone except my Grandma and Grandpa had their first names on them (theirs had *mom* and *dad*). Santa came in the night and filled them up, always with some candy and an orange, along with other goodies, and we always had to open them first before the presents!</p> <p>We'll be doing the same :) I just ordered LO's stocking w/her name on it from PBK, and I'm still using mine from when I was a kid! Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1251206 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 13:39:10 +0000 HayleyJane 1251206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up, we all had stockings, adults and kids. For awhile none of them had our name on them (we just knew which one was ours), but one year my mom decided to get crafty and wrote our names on them. It was understood that they were filled by Santa AND mom/dad with a couple of small gifts, but mostly candy/fruit. We also have MASSIVE stockings at our grandma's house that are stuffed to the brims.</p> <p>Now my husband and I have stockings that we fill for each other. They don't have our names on them because we picked our own unique stockings. We will probably do the same for our children, but I'm not sure who will fill their stockings yet, us or Santa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250965 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 09:06:12 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1250965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @ alv91711 except ours have names. They are filled by Santa, but everyone gets into it and my mom, myself and my sisters are "Santa". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250910 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 06:58:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1250910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone has a stocking, parents included. We have (had) decorative stockings, but they weren't labeled. Each person's stocking was identified, so the others could fill them. Santa did not stuff stockings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250907 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 06:52:30 +0000 chrispygal 1250907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up adults never had them in my family, but hubby and I do have them and have done stockings for each other ever since we started living together. We will probably continue and have Santa fill ours along with A's. Our stockings have our first names on them rather than Mommy and Daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250902 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 06:17:28 +0000 mjane 1250902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also trying to figure this out... Adults never had them in my family but there's tons of tiny things I want to get for my husband. But I don't want to force him to do a stocking for me, nor do I want to be a mommy martyr and be the only family member without a stocking. And I don't particularly want to stuff one for myself. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250897 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 05:56:14 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1250897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kids and adults have them in my family too. Growing up , my parents' had "Mommy" and "Daddy" on them. For now our's just have our names on them, but when LOs come along, we'll prob. do Mommy and Daddy as well. And all will get stuffed. So pretty much just copying what I grew up with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250678 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 21:01:51 +0000 Pepper 1250678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hang stockings every year. Now that we have LO, we bought personalized ones with our first names. We always just put little unwrapped gifts in them from Santa... anything small enough to fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250676 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:58:00 +0000 ALV91711 1250676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kids and adults have them in our family. They get hung before bed on Christmas Eve and Santa fills them. Ours have never had names. We hang them oldest to youngest so Santa knows who they belong too. It is a fun tradition. </p> <p>Everyone also gets new pjs on Christmas Eve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250652 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:44:28 +0000 cmomma17 1250652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have stockings that we stuff for each other, with our first names on them. Just added one for LO. I'm not sure if the6 will be filled by us or Santa, we still have time to figure that out. We hang them up when we put up the tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250646 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:42:00 +0000 Boogs 1250646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have stockings for us and our LO. They all say our first names and we always stuff them. That's how I grew up, so I guess you could say I'm continuing the tradition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-stockings-1#post-1250633 Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:39:23 +0000 tillma 1250633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious because we are trying to decide what to do in our house...do you guys hang stockings? Does Santa come stuff them? Do the adults have them as well as the kids? If the adults stockings have names on them what do they say? First names? Mom and dad?<br /> Growing up my parents stuffed stockings until we were in college (yup I know but it was a fun Christmas morning tradition!) but my parents never had stockings. We were trying to decide whether to include ourselves and make it a family event or make it all about the kids. </p>
