Anyone else shirking being the one to creep into a bedroom to hang a full stocking?

Anyone else running away from this task?

I do not want to be the person that is spotted as a Santa imposter. Ruining Christmas when he's at the fab Christmas enjoying age...oh no ho ho ho 🎅🏻

DH is the favourite parent, I'm always the reserve but hell no am I running the risk of being the one who properly breaks his heart

We'd usually play rock paper scissors to settle disputes but nope put my foot down...wish him luck 🍀

Anyone similar?

I managed to remove stockings from door handles at 11pm last night but were both still awake. Youngest came to cry in my bed as she was overtired couldn't sleep and thought she wouldn't get a stocking.

I filled and left in corner of my room. Woke up at 4.45 to hang them to discover the oldest awake who then came to my bed and then they were both up on my bed to open them by 6.

I am soooo tired.

@WhenwillIlearntoadult stockings with bells on oh god 😂

Hope you all managed to do it, we e just had the manic "Santa's been!"

I crept around filling stockings at 3.30. Our kids are 16 and 22 and I'm still at it. I must love the risk!

Never understood people putting stockings in bedrooms. On the mantle or just not at all.

Oh what a lovely thread! I don’t have kids but this has brought back wonderful memories of mum and dad when we were kids. We never had stockings in our rooms… and now I know why! I hope you all managed to be suitably stealthy and you have a wonderful Christmas

Mine are now 15, 13 and 9. Last night they were all asleep by 11. So now I don't need to be quite as sneaky they actually go to sleep at a reasonable time.

Big two now leave it outside their rooms, much easier.

@MrPoppysParka did she get to sleep?

My DM woke me by accident one Christmas doing my stocking, she told me 'I'm just checking to see if Santa has been!' in a very stressed voice, I accepted it!
