I would choose B or C. Definitely not A. Do not open that door. Praise God for a son with his head on straight

Another thought. Perhaps take it to your local elementary school to be given out discretely to a young lady w/same name who is in need. --- My daughter, a elem school nurse, was given some items for Christmas distribution when she came upon a little purse w/mirror and coin purse inside. She told the youngster that she'd thought of her when she saw it and asked if she would like to have it. The little one said, "this is the nicest gift I ever received" and was so happy. We can only imagine what she had received before to make such a small item so meaningful.

Also, check with the local shelters.

or you could be really awful and send it to the person at the house who now has this"lady" in his clutches

LOL thinking of the scene when he gives it to her full of whatever.... ok, really being bad....do not do this

ok, seriously now.....you could give it to your LQS as a sample and who knows maybe teach a workshop

Hang onto it for a couple of years then donate it.
If they reconnect and the stockings gone that would be awkward.
If you don't want her back in your life make NO CONTACT....dont give her the stocking...she then calls him and tells him how sweet you are and how she wants him back.

I would carry it around with me in the car until Christmas. (Although, I drive around a lot...) If I ran into someone with the same name, I would go to the car, get it, and present it to the person. I would not tell them any of the background, and just simply say "Merry Christmas". Perhaps that person will pay it forward and perform Random Acts of Kindness as well....

Is it May? I'd love a special stocking like the one you made. Just kidding, hope you find it a home here on the message board.

I certainly would not send it to her. It would give her the wrong impression of your opinion of the relationship. Go for option 2 or 3.

I would put a big X through her name and mail it to her. LOL .

You are already a good person by making it for her in the first place.

I think I would keep it around for a couple of years...just in case.... they get back together. You'd hate to have to explain to her why it's no longer around and you never know what might happen. It's not that unusual for couples to break up, only to get back together and be perfect for each other the second time around. Just my thought.
