Photograph: Christmas Stockings for the Decades

[abracanabra]

My mother is on a quest to get rid of the mounds of accumulated "stuff" that my grandmother pack-ratted away before she was moved to a nursing home with my grandfather. Among these things were presents that she'd picked up over the years (decades) "for the grandchildren" and never given to us. So my mother took them all and put them in stockings this year. Those were some oddly shaped stockings. Items included: sudoku rubix cubes, yo-yos, Snoopy penny banks, very small jigsaw puzzles, toe socks (ick!), state quarters, and some other things I can't recall. Also, there was incredibly foul candy.
