Those of you with teenagers who still want a stocking at Christmas

Do they still hang out an empty stocking for you to sneak in and steal to fill up and replace or do you just put a full stocking in their rooms or under the tree.

When DS was small, he always hung his stocking on his bed and tried to stay awake and catch Santa out Xmas Grin. Even though he has stopped believing long ago, he still wants a stocking on Christmas Day. Our tradition was that they could open stocking presents (all indivdually wrapped to give us longer in bed) and then once brealkfast was eaten and everyone was dressed they could move on to presents under the tree. Have just been wrapping the stocking gifts and wondering whether to put them straight in to the stocking or keep them in a carrier bag and let DS put his stocking out on Christmas eve empty.

think my only dd will always get a stocking though i hope one day when she's grown up she might return the favour.

My dds 19 & 17 still love their stockings and it's mainly because it's all surprises and have no idea about what their getting.
Main presents are usually
Things they've chosen themselves, or money so stocking fillers are a must.
They are either out or go to bed late on christmas eve so we leave them just inside their bedrooms.
They still love getting up early sometimes hungover open them in our room like they were little ... Then happily plonk themselves back to bed while dh and I enjoy preparing the day ahead Xmas Smile
