On another note, I think it's fabulous that everyone gets matching stockings. My husband's family has a tradition of knitted red stockings with a snowman design, and the person's name at the top. However, you DON'T get a stocking if you weren't born into the family. So, my husband and 2 kids have a stocking, but I don't. My husband's sister and her two kids have a stocking, but her husband doesn't. I think it's kind of mean to exclude family members just because they're not related by blood. So I started a new tradition and made quilted stockings. Ha.
That does seem like a mean tradition. What would they do if there were an adopted child, or a stepchild in the family? Would that child also do without?
