Awe how fun I love it
As a child mom and dad bought us a few gifts wrapped and under the tree our main gift and stocking was from Santa never wrapped but set up under the lite tree to see first thing in the morning it was almost magical.....Stockings usually had a small inexpensive gift or two and was filled with an orange, an apple, nuts and Christmas hard candies.
With my own family I kept the Santa gift under the tree and stockings but instead of fruit and nuts they always got things they needed like sox, underwear, new toothbrush, chapstick, and since I have girls usually hair bands or barrets, sometimes small gifts like Legos, bubbles, small stuffed animals. Now that they are older I usually give them jewelry, or gift cards a new Christmas ornament and they insist on getting thier underwear and sox.
