Do you buy chocolate and sweets to put in your DC's stockings??

[nappyaddict]

That's it really

we don't have a waitrose anywhere near

yes. always chocolate coins and sometimes some other wee sweet too. PLus satsuma and a can of pop.

Yes, something small as she's not yet 2.

Yep. DS is nearly 4 and will have chocolate coins and some little chocolate Santa sweets I got in Sainsbo's. That's if I don't eat them all before Xmas Eve.

Yes, a Lindt reindeer, choc coins, tube of buttons or smarties

and the obligatory satsuma

MY stocking contains the same

This will be DS first stocking - he's 2.4. He is getting some Whizzers - dairy free chocolate buttons (he's dairy intolerant). He is going to think he has died and gone to heaven. I don't buy them normally as they are 77p for about 5

chocolate coins and tube of fruit pastilles.

I go to Home Bargains - Northern chain of discount shops normally to be found in the poundshop area of town. They sell the most unspeakably vile sweets - sour things, things that look like roll on deoderants etc. 364 days of the year there is absolutely no way that mum or dad will buy any of these sweets. Every year FC comes up with the goods and even seems to take a delight in picking the most peversely disgusting ones.

DS1 is 13. Last year he still came rushing to tell us with glee what horrors FC had inflicted on us. He knows the truth, I know he knows the truth, but somehow in the early morning chaos disbelief is suspended for a few minutes again. I really hope he feels the same this year.
