Something that always meant a lot to me growing up, and I'm not really sure why, was the homemade Bucilla Christmas Stockings my mom made for each of us. When Mark and I first started dating, I thought it was time to make one for each of us to hang in our home. I even made some for our animals! So once I found out we were having a baby, I knew he would have to have a stocking for his first Christmas. I even went to far as to make new stockings for me and Mark. We celebrate Christmas at my families home and this means our stocking used to be stored there. Since I wanted some for our home the snowflake ones and our animal ones will stay at our home to start new traditions. Then Mark and my new stockings will be kept at my mom's house and we will use the stocking I grew up with as our sons, when we're celebrating at her house. I already changed the name on my old stocking to his, it was pretty important to me to get it done before his first Christmas.
