DH and DS have a stocking at my parents' house too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351363 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 17:42:33 +0000 Mrs. D 2351363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm.... until we moved two years ago yes, but not for the last two Christmases because we weren't here. This year we'll be home, and my mom still does for my sisters, so, we'll see? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351360 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 17:38:16 +0000 Torchwood 2351360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and one for DH. But I'm an only by my mom, and we're only having one kid, so it's still not that many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351355 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 17:34:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 2351355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@YogiRunner: we never actually filled stockings growing up, it was just for decoration. It was so weird for me when DH's family actually put stuff in them. </p> <p>@rattles: they don't have a fire place so it's the only logical spot. But it's good it's a long railing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351349 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 17:31:01 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2351349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have personalized stockings for themselves, my sisters, our DHs, the grandkids, and a few extra ones, so whoever is there that year gets one. My mom, my sisters, and I all play Santa and put small gifts in every stocking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351229 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 16:19:31 +0000 YogiRunner 2351229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you host? Do your parents or in laws fill your stockings or do you and DH do it for each other? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351219 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 16:12:47 +0000 catlady 2351219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we never had personalized stockings. My parents liked to give us so many "stocking stuffers" that we usually had either buckets or baskets each year since stockings didn't fit enough stuff. We didn't really have our own specific ones, they sort of all got shared. These days my dad still gives me a bucket on Christmas, and DH and LO get one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351203 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 16:01:51 +0000 rattles 2351203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still up at my parents'. It's the handmade one my mom sewed me (and matches the ones I've made my kids). @Foodnerd81: I'm one of five too, and with inlaws and grandkids, the fireplace is so crowded! The stairs is a good suggestion, actually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351200 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:59:32 +0000 turquoisemama 2351200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my mom still fills them every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351197 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:57:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2351197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Should have added my MIL gave us DH's from growing up- she embroiders these beautiful needlepoint stockings and did one for each of her kids when they were babies, and has done one for me and LO. So that's what our stockings are. Not sure what we will do when our kids grow up and get married but I suppose I have some time to worry about that later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351166 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:44:58 +0000 Synchronicity 2351166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and it still gets filled up every year! That's always been my favourite thing to "open" on Christmas, I'll be sad when my mom decides I'm too old :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351164 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:44:13 +0000 clover 2351164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do at my ILs house. My mom doesn't decorate for Christmas anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351123 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:29:28 +0000 birdofafeather 2351123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My grandma made them for us. And my mom made ones for our family for our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351111 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:26:50 +0000 looch 2351111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we didn't really do stockings growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351110 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:26:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 2351110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she gave them to us a few years ago, she said it got to be too many people now that we all have kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351064 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:09:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2351064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point the stockings belong to anyone who shows up Christmas morning at my mom's. My childhood stockings were a matching set.</p> <p>I don't recall even seeing stockings at my MIL's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351063 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:08:45 +0000 Smurfette 2351063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! They are very unusual. So my Mom has had to make one for DH, SIL, and then all three grandkids. They look a little different but the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351061 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:06:34 +0000 erinbaderin 2351061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I have my childhood stocking at my house. We spend Christmas at my parents' so I'll hang it up at my house until we head over there Christmas Eve and then I'll bring it with me for Christmas morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351058 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:05:36 +0000 sapphire 2351058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, for DH and myself. I assume my mom will get one for LO this year too. She still stuffs our stockings :) dHs parents still have stockings up too. They give me stocking stuffers but never got me my own stocking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351050 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:02:50 +0000 NCSUchick27 2351050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DH has one at their house too. They ordered him a personalized stocking to match after we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351049 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:02:32 +0000 mrskrumpet 2351049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup both parents have stockings for all of us, my original stocking from when I was a baby is still the one we use at my parents house and my mom has added one for my DH and my DD and soon to be DS. My MIL has just bought new ones for all of us so they match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-have-a-stocking-at-your-parents-house#post-2351038 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:59:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2351038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents still have stockings for me and my siblings that are displayed every year. They have also added a stocking for every spouse and grand child. I'm one of five kids, four of us are married, and there are three, soon to be four, grandkids- so their staircase will have 13 stockings this year! They will need more stairs soon. </p> <p>Luckily they just have the most basic red and white stockings that they write the name on in glitter- not fancy but easy to add another stocking as needed. </p> <p>Is your stocking still up at your parents house? </p>
