Cricket, if you happen to still be reading this thread, I’ll share my husband’s stocking tradition with you. I like it, so we’re planning on it for our future little ones. When the kids went to sleep on Christmas Eve, the parents snuck in and laid their full stockings at the foot of their beds. That way, when the kids woke up, they had the stockings right there ready for them to tear into and the parents got to sleep a little longer.

Ann, Ha! I’ve been feeling like crap today cause of lack of sleep and stress and such, but that made my day.

I’m fortunate enough to work in an office that’s so laid back that on the weekends people are allowed to bring their dogs in and have them run around. We’ve got some toys there that we use to entertain the dogs (and ourselves) with. That sounds like something that would happen in my office. Just today I got pegged in the back of the head with a tennis ball like 3 times.

Someone gave my 5 yr old neph one of those phlat balls. It took us adults all of 5 min to realize it pops back into a ball after you peg someone in the back of the head with it. Not like we did it…often. Fine, everyone got smacked with it.

Cricket, I’ve always waited till Christmas morning to open anything, mostly because I just wasn’t allowed to till then when I was growing up, and the tradition just kind of stuck. Now I always wait so I can maximize my Christmas morning haul. I want to get the most out of that morning as I can so I don’t want to dip into it early. However, it is a fairly popular tradition to open one gift or just the stocking on Christmas Eve, the night before. I know a lot of people that do that.

Fellow X-E’ers – Do you open your stockings at Christmas or on St. Nicholas day? We always did St Nicks day when I was growing up so we got them early in the season which was good and bad I suppose. We haven’t set a steadfast rule for my daughter yet so I am wondering what the general population does so I can make my decision for this year.
