Stockings are addiciting!! I made each of our family one many years ago - My husband, his two daughters and myself first. Then, as we had more children, each of them were made one... tradition says we MUST use these stockings each year. Now, my daughter has 'ordered' six of them - one for each of the four children she is planning - not even married yet!! - only 17!! and herself and her husband!! Can't wait to do them!!
