5^th Awesome of Christmas: STOCKING STUFFERS!!!!

I can tell you that every year I will get 1 pair of panty hose, a Clinque eye shadow due in bronze satin/ivory bisque, a milky way nutcracker & a can of smoked almonds in my stocking. Scott will get 1 pair of dress socks, along with his own milky way nutcracker & can of almonds. Dad will get whoppers & cashews instead of a milky way and almonds.

These are not the only items in our stockings, however they are stocking staples. As a matter of fact, I have considered asking my mom to forgo the eyeshadow this year because I still have 2 in the bathroom drawer that I haven’t opened. Plus, I just threw one away last week, not because it was empty but because I felt that it was old. Cosmo would be so proud of me throwing away my old make-up, with their crazy rules about throw it out after 3 months…do they realize how expensive that crap is!?! I can only afford it because someone else buys it for me!!!

Each year my mom buys more items than will fit in the stockings, or she just flat out buys “stocking stuffers” that don’t have an ice cubes chance of fitting into the stocking. My parents have quite a large mantel, and there will be 20 boxes, without nametags just piled all over the mantel. Whoever is playing Santa for that moment is stuck standing there like “MOM! Who gets this?!” It’s like mom knows who gets what by the wrapping paper, even though the wrapping paper is all holly berries and waving santa’s..i can’t see any difference. For the love of all that is holy…just put a name tag on it!!!!
