So...when most folks say they only lack shopping for stocking stuffers, that is a good thing. With me--not so much. I am accepting donations of large items a 17-year-old and a 15-year-old diva would love! I'm thinking of beginning with grapefruit.

The Christmas Stockings
Right after Madeline was born some 17 years ago, in a classic grandmother haze I purchased her a Christmas stocking. Not just any stocking--she easily could have been placed in this stocking. It was more suited for a giant than for a tiny baby....so, to perpetuate my mistake I got Susannah one, too, when she came along two years later. What was I thinking?
Here they are, with a normal person's stocking added for comparison. I'm not kidding. The things are 32" long by 16" wide--I measured. Just show me the chimney these puppies could hang by with care!
