How can it be that Christmas is just a few short days away? Given what I have heard from friends, there is still some Christmas shopping to be done for a lot of them. Whether or not your Christmas gifts have been purchased for loved ones and friends, I wanted to remind you not to forget about the stocking stuffers.
This year, we actually are doing 12 days of Christmas. Although I am not certain, I supposed it is inspired by the song. You basically give your loved ones a gift in their stockings each day for the 12 days leading to Christmas. My husband and I did it one year before the kiddos were born and he couldn’t handle the pressure, so now we only do it for the kids.
Needless to say, they are super excited to check their stockings each day. I keep the gifts small and affordable (dollar items) but for their final day, I want to do something extra special. So, I decided to include some small gifts and a snack that everyone can agree on, Slim Jim. It’s not sweet, it provides a pick-me-up boost that the busy holidays sometimes requires and its a treat the whole family would enjoy.
With a plan already formulated in my head, I went on over to Walmart to get everything I needed for their special stocking.
So how did the stockings turn out? Well you saw one of them pictured above and here is how the other one turned out…
Hopefully the kiddos will like their stockings!!!
