A tradition in our home is that each granchild gets a Christmas stocking from mawmaw and papa.
With 12 grandchildren this can get pretty expensive after a while. Check out your local thrift store for deals on them. Yes, you can get nice ones for about $1 to $2 at the store but I spend 50 to 99 cents on brand new ones at the thrift store. We then decorate them with glitter glue sticks to personalize each one. We also save them and use them year after year. This year we needed 2 new ones so off to the thrift store I went! I also buy extra when they have them to use as decoration around the house.
As you can see by the picture, our banister is getting pretty full. I don't know where we will put any new ones that come along. I need to replace a couple of them. A few accidently got taken home. These are also kept year after year at our house. I just threw up some old ones so I didn't have empty spots.
Looking at that picture reminds me that I need to get some lights hung up there to liven it up a little. Of course my lights were bought a few years ago on clearance.
Don't forget!!!! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!!!!
