2011 Stocking Stuffer Guide
Growing up, we always opened our stockings Christmas morning and could count on finding a juicy clementine somewhere inside. Yours might be filled with chocolate coins, lots of little wrapped gifts, or even a toothbrush - hung from a fireplace mantle or a staircase. Whatever your stocking traditions may be, one thing is certain. Kids love them almost as much as the presents under the tree. And, a cleverly filled stocking might just buy you enough time to at least get the coffee started.
