Ravin Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 This morning when she went out to play, DD found a stocking sitting on the front porch. Her name was painted on it and it was hand decorated. I'm maybe a little annoyed because overall it had better stuff than the stocking from Santa sitting waiting for her to get into when her stepbrothers get up...at least she seems very pleased with it. She went out to try and find out who it was from. She suspected her playmate D's teenaged sisters, whom she saw running somewhere in their pajamas a little while ago. But when she went and asked his mom denied it and said it must be from Santa. So I explained the concept of a Secret Santa, and I think she's content for now with it being a mystery. It was certainly a very nice gesture, and given how close we came to me NOT being able to afford stocking stuffers at all, doubly so.

Tree House Academy Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 As mom, I think I would contact the other mom and ask her directly (without dd around) if she or her kids did the stocking...you know, just to make sure it was from someone you know...especially if it has candy in it!

kalanamak Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 We have had a nice neighborhood exchange in my little cul-de-sac, something I've never had in my entire life, and it has thrilled my son to all git-out (as his dad puts it). Let's see: I made James Beard's Raw Apple Bread for everyone, and got a plate of cookies, some bacclava, a cheery-pineapple cobbler, a homemade evergreen centerpeice, some fancy chocolate, and a bottle of wine. I think I like my new neighborhood. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
