    Default Romance of christmas

    The other day, I recieved a email from my bil. The subject line said...."I need Help!"
    I thought to myself. What could this be. Thinking it was going to be some kind of joke he had found.
    To my surprise it was a serious message from him.
    He said, I need you to make me a customized Christmas stocking for my wife.
    Every year, she fills everyones stockings, and she doesn't have one of her own.
    I thought, How sweet is this? How thoughtful is this, that he would even notice this?
    So he said, so, if you have time, I would like to commission you to make one for her.
    So, I contacted him and asked him what he was looking for.
    As most of you are I'm sure....I am soooo bogged down with what I have to have ready for Christmas...but, don't you
    know I am all caught up in the romance of this, so I am making the stockings now.Far beit from be to interrupt the romance and thoughtfulness of Christmas.Naturally I am going to quilt these stockings. And yes...I said stockings.
    Cause I got to thinking about this from a woman's point of view, and we like things to cordinate.lol So I am making him one that will go with it, and he will be surprised to see this. lol When I get them done, I will post pics of them.
    Just thought I would share this since we all like stories like this at Christmas.

    What a nice thought on his part. And how wonderful of you to make time at this busy time of the year. You'll make her Christmas brighter.
