For the stocking, I often got a fancy toothbrush (and in my easter basket, too), and of course an orange.
Me too! Plus a book and art supplies.
oh man, this is the first year I won't have a stocking! I'm suddenly absurdly sad about that.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That reminds me to bring some of the stupid crap I have in my house to put in my parents' stockings. Some of it possibly from my own stocking in past years.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If I can help it, I am not leaving the house today.

In my family, grownups still get stockings. This means I have to stuff my own, but so be it! So far I am getting Raven Red nail polish and Lindor dark chocolate mint truffles.

These seem the most holiday to me.
I must say that, although I'll miss being with family on Christmas Day, I am loving the presents coming to me thing: having the UPS guy leave packages for me (for once), seeing the presents under the tree and wondering what they are, resisting opening them (because I'm all alone so who would know?). Also, not having to come up with stocking stuffers is an extra bonus.
ETA: In keeping with the Christmas insanity that is my family, stockings get crazy packed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, thanks Ginger - those stains look cool.
Of course, in lieu of staining, I could just paint it pink and put some unicorn and rainbow stickers on it....

Raven Red is a good color choice, Flea. It is red, but a deep, classy, evening wear kind of red.
Unlike the red I put on and took off in short order the other day because it made me look like I should be hanging out on the strip, looking for clients.

I like dark reds. I have been wearing Cherry Crush but the bottle is almost gone, and I wanted something less sparkly.

Grownups get stockings in my family too. Once we acknowledged that my mother was acting in loco Santa, we wrapped little gifts and put them in her stocking before we went to bed.
One thing I remember getting was silly erasers.
One warning about silly putty: do not leave a blob of it on the carpet. The evidence that I had done that at about 6 lingered for years.
