[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3058934, member: 27991"] Great story, reminds me of my Grandma and her 6 sisters. The eldest always made up Christmas stockings for kids at the church. They always contained an apple, an orange, and a couple pisces of candy. She told us, when they were kids, they were poor farmers. At Christmas, if they received an apple, an orange, and a couple pieces of candy, it meant they had had a good year and were blessed. Some years, there was no candy. One extremely hard year, only an apple. I still have stockings for my kids, their spouses, and 12 grandkids. Each year they get an apple, an orange, and some candy. Last year, the stockings were looking a bit worn and I wanted to get new ones. Oldest granddaughter (18 and in college) had come over. She noticed the stockings weren't hung and asked. My wife tells her that I was getting new ones. She says she wants HER stocking, not a new one. We kept the old ones. At Christmas, her bf was here, he had a stocking, to his surprise. She told him what was in it and why. [/QUOTE]
