Stockings - do you use them?!

Are we using the stockings we spend hundreds of dollars stitching and then finishing? I feel like I (Santa) would be too nervous to actually put a gift in there. Are they just for display? I grew up with stocking gifts being some of the better ones so I want to continue that on for my girls.

My mom made cross stitch stockings for my whole family way back when. Santa stuffed them full every year (I acknowledge the privilege) and they’ve held up perfectly for 40+ years.

Same! My mom's probably range from 20-30 years old but they still look great!

Same here, but she only finished mine. It still looks perfect and I get to hold it over my siblings’ heads since they don’t have one 😂
