My Christmas Stocking from Kindergarten! :) i made this red stocking in Kindergarten class, when i was 6 years old :) it was a fun project, i remember my classmates and i, and our teacher Mrs. Camp making these :) we used glue and glitter to write our name on the stocking, we used yarn for the stocking, and also got to paste pictures of toys we wanted on our stockings :) i was really into cars when i was a kid (still am) and put pictures of cars on my stocking :) i've saved this awesome decorative treasure over the years, and i'm so proud to display it in my Christmas town :)

Hi Chris and Holly. So glad that you are looking forward to tomorrow and baking. I made brownies today but will have to still bake tomorrow. The brownies won't last long.

I can't wait to see your family tree all decorated. It has been a long time since John and I had a real tree. They have got to expensive. My artificial tree looks really real. I hang one of those Pune scentcar fresheners in the middle and it makes it smell like it is a real tree!!

Love all the decorations. You certainly have a lot of decorations. It is so cool that you get them all displayed.

You and Holly enjoy your movies tonite. Hugs. John and Debbie
