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.

*Grin* Very cool.

My daughter loves toe socks, to the point where I go out of my way to buy them any time when I can find them at a decent price... I don't get it, but.. what the hey, she's 11. :)

I have a friend like that too. She likes the novelty socks best. It makes it very easy for her family and friends to buy her presents.

I now know a really good use for toe socks. If you don't want yours, send them to me and I will make a monster out of them for you and send it back.

Good idea.

My sisters' birthdays are coming up. I should get the one some toe socks. It'd make her day.

Ooo! As if anyone could say no to such a tempting offer!
