All of my sons are married, and I have continued to fill their stockings with things for each couple. However, this year I suggested they take them home to their own houses (they were hand knit by my mother with their names on them), and was surprised by their reaction. They said it wouldn't be the same as having them on our mantle each year. I teased them saying I couldn't afford to fill them each year, but they said they didn't want me to fill them...just let them hang like they always do!
