What a stocking surprise!

When I was a kid growing up, our stockings were real nylons! Do you have any idea how much those things can hold when they stretch? Pinned to the top of the sofa, they went down the back, across the seat and down to touch the floor!

Contents: Comic book, colouring book, pencils, crayons, candy, chocolate, socks, underwear, little toys, sometimes Matchbox cars, a pile of nuts and a Mandarin orange in the toe.

And there were 7 stockings.

Stocking stuffer: (n) Object of little to no value that, if purchased by a child during the rest of the year will be classified as “a waste of money”, but when given to the child at Christmas is invested by the purchaser with an enormous perceived value. See also: Dollar Tree, Poundland, etc.

Daddy Long Leg(s)

It has to reach the cold outdoors for the steaks that he will be getting, so they don’t spoil.

Quite a foothold (literally), plus he’s got a leg up on the competition!

Dadi’s been a very good boy this year!

You know what they say about the size of a man’s stocking…

I thought is was a too long red necktie belonging to uh, someone.

So it’s called “Dog”, not “Dogi”.

Fill it full of coal and a sprinkle of candy floss on top
