Stockings for older dc?

[Agwen]

When do you stop? Not an issue yet as dc are 6, 12 and 15 so obviously Father Christmas still comes to keep up the ruse for the little one. I hope they'll still want one until they leave home, I love doing the FC stocking!

I have made one for my dad and he is in his late 70s.

Not sure, but I'm 49 and still enjoy mine

I had one until I left home (properly, not just for uni/shared house after), and my mum still buys me 'stocking bits' now but without the stocking as she likes finding them throughout the year.

Our family do them for all ages, adults included.

When they no longer spend Christmas 'at home'. Then hopefully they will have someone else to do it for them.

I love stockings. We all get them in this house.

I still got one on my last Christmas at home when I was 18. I will keep doing them for my children as long as they want to spend Christmas with us.

Mine are in their early 20s and still get them!

For as long as mine are at home i will do stockings

I think probably while they live at home they get a stocking.

We do a stocking for everyone sleeping in the house on Christmas Eve.

Dd is 31 and still gets a stocking..
As do I at 49!!
Ime there is no stopping.
My dgm died at 76 and still had one onher last xmas!!

I love finding little bits and bobs for them. It's settled, I'll do them as long as they want one!

Inlaws do me and dh a stocking I also do dd14 and ds 18 a stocking the dog too

Kids should wear tights there’s no need to sexualise their hosiery

*@EggBobbin 😂

Anyone who stays over on Chrismas Eve gets one.

Ooh yes we have a dog for the first time this year so she will get one too!

I would say stop when they are about 80.

I've never had a stocking so have never done one for dd.

Mum gets one. She's 91! So do we all. Love doing the stockings

I still do one for DS, he's 21. I enjoy doing it, it's mostly chocolate and little things I pick up during the year.

I've said I'm not doing them this year, mine are 23 & nearly 22.
I can barely summon up the energy to think what to buy for their under tree gifts, without thinking of stuff for stockings, so have called a halt to it.

I remember my brother demanding to know my mother’s total gift budget for him and requesting she got him a PS game he wanted, a t shirt and use the remaining money on his stocking. I’ve no idea why she put up with it, he would have been about 17 I suppose?
