I did away with the stockings a few years ago, Cathie. No point in doing it for our grown children, and their parents do it for the grandkids. So I decided enough is enough. LOL I do make up a goodie bag for each of the grands with cookies, candy, hot cocoa, gum, etc. Worked good last year. I bought lunch size red/white striped sacks. They turned out quite cute.
We did the draw names out of a hat for several years, but have even discontinued that. It is hard to buy a gift for someone you are not around a lot. So no more gift exchange at moms.
Blessings,
Winona
