    Stockings were traditionally filled with fruit, nuts, and candy when I was young. For my family we used small gifts such as individual toys like cars, playdough, mini dolls, etc, candy, and other small goodies such as a brush or comb, hair barrettes, ties, etc.
    Evan made such an improvement this year on his gingerbread house, if there were a prize it might have to go to him. I did love the look of Carlin's colorful roof too.
    Thanks for sharing your faith and lives.

    Once my children got a little older we started a tradition of 12 days of Christmas leading up to Christmas day. I would give them one thing from their stocking.(gum, candy, chap stick etc) each day. They would get up each morning excited to see their stocking treasure. It was like the Christmas countdown.

    This looks like so much fun. Having all the family all together in one place. In Layla’s stocking you could add a my little pony, small Barbie doll, candy, bath paint….Both gingerbread houses look awesome.

    Sorry I didn't make it from Michigan. Play sounds amazing! Love how you squeezed all your family in. I have never done a gingerbread house - they look way more time intensive than I would have expected. I would go with Layla's approach. Sit back, eat candy and watch you decorate.

    I miss your blonde streaks Carlin. I love the packed house. It was like that at my grandparents house. I wonder how many we had looking back but it was fun. We kids, then, would sleep on quilts, giggle & talk about Santa on the roof, said we heard Rudolph on the roof. Christmas was so much fun back then. Now we're 73, we're all alone, even our grands live far away. This family has so much fun.

    Some ideas for stockings - new tooth brush, crayons, pencils, stickers, candy (of course), hair brush/comb, snacks (snak pack crackers, cookies, chips, etc.) hair ties, socks, juice box. When Layla is older you can put small dolls and doll accessories (bottles, clothes, etc.) fake makeup. Just a few suggestions. I hate stockings sometimes because they can be hard to buy for, just think fun, practical, small needs, and snacks lol

Usually keeps them very happy. I still do a combo of fun things for my boys and they are both teens. 😁😁😁
