REMEMBER THE OLD SCHOOL STOCKINGS ?

Remember when you put your own socks out for Santa to fill?

NOT THOSE BIG -BIGGER - BIGGEST shaped-vaguely-like-a-foot things made of red fur but your own socks that you wore to school? Socks that had lost their elastic playing kickball on the school yard. Socks that were getting holes.

Ah! But you had to get to bed early to awake early! Right after the 6 oclock news. While you were laying in your bed - trying so to sleep - you heard strange sounds in the living room!

And inside your sock, the next morning, you would be excited to find an orange, a few walnuts, maybe a Santa made of chocolate, or some special peppermint candies, a few quarters or a roll of pennies, a small toy, like a metal model of a car, or perhaps a doll or a coloring book and crayons.

Maybe there were a few cookies that Santa's reindeer left for you because he had eaten way too many cookies in the neighborhood already!

WHATEVER IT WAS YOU FOUND IN YOUR STOCKING - it was enough!

IT PROVED YOU HAD BEEN REMEMBERED! and were LOVED!

WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL PEACEFUL HOLIDAY SEASON WHATEVER YOUR RELIGION, WHEREVER YOU ARE AS YOU READ THIS BLOG!
