What have your DC got for christmas :)

[JJDEIR]

I love hearing what others have got their little ones, i like how we have so many different ideas and present traditions. Such as something you want read watch and need. I did that last year and was great or Just one gift from santa or no "gifts" but a panto show.

We had a sock!

So you've grown up with stockings holding a lot of stuff?

@Amerimoon ah thanks so much 😇 Honestly it has taken weeks of planning and you can mark my growing obession with stockings right here on MN with all my comments on stocking threads 😅

@ShowOfHands mine were last year the same as yours and just had a few tiny bits in. My mum has kindly indulged my stocking obsession and knitted 3 giant stretchy stockings for my 3 DC :)

So they are very much stockings and the presents are in the spirit of stocking presents but they are probably more like sacks capacity-wise.

Yes!

My DDs are currently making their 'stockings' from pillowcases as a craft project. So not really stocking shaped.

No idea what to do for a stocking yet. Probably her Xmas day outfit, some hair bobbles/bows, chocolate coins and maybe a small bath toy / rubber duck (hers went mouldy so I've just binned them)

DD1 13 and DD2 11 have the same. We often do this as their bdays are just before and just after so they get their individual pressies then.
They have amazon echos, air pods (cheaper version not real Apple ones) hair curlers, books and tickets for SIX the musical which I really hope we'll actually be able to see by the end of July!

My in-laws are buying their main presents this year and they've got them Apple watches! (Lucky girls!)

In laws have got her a giant frozen Lego set!
