Hello all! Maybe a little soon to be thinking about it but me and dp had a conversation this morning about how we need to cut down on what we spend at Christmas this year. We have two dc.
I told him that I was thinking of just putting chocolate in stockings (coins, tubes, Santa shaped chocolate you get my drift). Also cheap novelty gifts in sacks and bigger presents just wrapped separately.
Anyway, Dp told me he doesn't think it's normal to get chocolate in stockings (or sacks or anything) for Christmas and that he never got chocolate for Christmas.
Me - not even chocolate coins or a selection box?!
Him - no!!
Me - gawping at him. Remembering always having chocolate coins and a selection box.
I am not saying that chocolate is necessarily needed but surely it's very normal to put chocolate in stockings?!
It's the only time it's acceptable to eat chocolate all day long right?!
I just feel like we experienced Christmas different growing up and sometimes it clashes (not just about the chocolate btw). I don't think he had a magical Christmas growing up whereas my mother was ott (not always a good thing, it could get too much sometimes).
He didn't grow up poor or anything. Money wasn't the issue!
But yeah I am planning to use their stockings for chocolate as like I said they are quite small and can't get much else in them anyway!
