The models are really the only option, I think.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hope the bandaids are a good stocking thing, because I got some for the nieces.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And weren't the models the only ones smiling in the picture of the run-up to the finish?

Kids also love to get Band-aids in their stockings.
Yeah, the fun kind. I still like getting them. We'd get practical and goofy and candy, too. And an orange. And some small change.

Because books.
That's what my nine-year-old said, Jesse! Good eye.
I want to root for Alabama, because I would love to see an all-female team win but I'd kind of hate myself for doing it. So I think I will sit back and watch without rooting for anyone in particular.

And an orange.
OMG. After reading the orange-in-a-stocking from the Laura Ingalls Wilders books, I was SERIOUSLY bent out when I didn't get an orange for a few years running. Then I got a clementine and mom explained how, even in her youth, they were so rare during the winters. Never did figure out the whole peppermint straw in an orange thingie. Ew.

Granted, I could see Rob and Kim being so done with the race and with each other that they don't smile, and the boys smiling anyway, because they're models, but still.
I think my family may have bailed on the oranges in the stockings, which I think it kind of a bummer.

Hee. There were a couple of years in there where they didn't have oranges on hand.... so we got apples. Well, you know, it's about the same size, round, and a fruit, right?

Now tagless for your comfort.

You really can't compare the two, you know.

We don't do oranges in the stockings, but my brother usually buys a crate of clementines to share out among us on Christmas day. It's one of my favorite prezzies.
