Chocolate, sweets etc
There was no timetable in regards to food, you could eat what you wanted when you wanted as long as you ate Christmas dinner. Ds doesn't have a great diet varity-wise so I let him pigg out.

satsuma and an apple
chocolate coins
a sugar mouse.

we always used to get a bottle of bubble bath but i dont do this as dd1 has excema and it wouldnt be fair if others got it and she didnt, we also used to get a handful of nuts but mine are too little for that yet, prob will when they older. i usually put a teddy in the top of their stockings

Chocolate coins. Lint reindeer. Tangerine or satsuma. New tights and socks. Flannel. Toothbrush. Little daft toys like fortune telling fish or wind up things (have bought wind-up grannies this year!!!!).

I have never done stockings - either now or as a child. I would have no idea what was supposed to go in them.

TinsellyRhino · 30/11/2006 18:10

it's so nice to hear so many still do satsumas. I thought it would be lost on dds so they get a chocolate orange instead. plus chocolate coins

ediemay · 01/12/2006 00:39

LOL at the sprouts

fussymummy · 01/12/2006 01:26

We always used to get:
satsuma
apple
choc coins
Shiny money

These always go into my childrens stockings.

Every year my children ask santa for malteesers (mummys favourite).

On christmas morning i get 3 satsumas and 3 bags of malteesers given to me from my kids.
(How sweet)

I don't have DCs yet (due date tmw!) but I would love to carry on these traditional presents: chocolate coins, sugar mouse and chocolate 'selection pack', 2-3 books and a cassette(well, CD nowadays). In Spain(where I live now) they give a piece of coal too, supposedly to the naughty children for all the bad things they have done. But they all get it and it's made of sugar!!

We didn't get a stocking, we left out a pillow case at the end of the bed and woke up to find it filled. Our 'big present' was on the floor somewhere. When Santa moved on, it all moved down to under the tree.
