Anyone else waiting to do the kids stockings?

[Gingerlygreen]

Dd's insist on hanging their stockings on their beds, I've been trying all day to convince them to hang them on their doors but no, they like the tradition of them being on the bed so now I'm wide awake waiting to creep in and fill them.

We live in an old house and the floors are so creaky, I've tried once but the 10 year old is facing me and has the squeakiest floor so I can't risk her opening her eyes and the 8 year old has decided to sleep the wrong way round in bed so her head is right next to her stocking, she's also coughing in her sleep so I think she'd stir easily.
I've had a couple of Baileys tonight and really want to sleep.

Handy hint.

Buy TWO identical stockings.

Fill one up. Replace the empty one with the filled up one in one stealth move.

We never hung stockings, Santa just brought a new one with him each year. I placed it on floor at end of their beds when they were little but used to prop it up outside their bedroom door as they got older.

This was first year in 25yrs I didn’t do stockings. My youngest is at her dads. The other two at home are adults. I went to bed early and slept before midnight for first time in years on Xmas eve!
