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?
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
Everyone also gets new pjs on Christmas Eve.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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".
-
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.
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.
-
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!
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!

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.
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
-
My parents always included themselves in stockings. They were always filled with candy, nuts, and little random gifts from Santa. I LOVED stockings.
With LO we will be doing the same
