The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
the full stocking concept
My grandparents' practice was to fill the bottom half of Christmas stockings with handfuls of un-shelled nuts and several oranges, then candy and small presents in the upper half.
The oranges and the nuts always got poured back into the "holiday bowls" on the coffee table whence they came.

Hec, can you call TCG? I want a stocking full of cheese.

move out and draw fire
Oh shit - tons of ~ma for him, Zenkitty.
Seconding the lawyer rec. When the hospital screwed up my gall bladder situation and almost killed me, my surgeon offered to testify (we opted to not sue and went another direction to address it), so there may very well be nurses or other staff that will support the case.

Yikes, Zenkitty! Tons of ~ma for your brother-in-law.
I always buy so much from TCG and ltc’s stockings that they end up with a gift bag each of things that should have fit in their stockings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My aunt's father fell and broke his hip and I guess all of that is going better than it might have gone (still not great), but the hospital lost his teeth! It's literally always something.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You didn’t eat the oranges, dcp? We always had a satsuma in the toe and one of those single serving cereal boxes poking out the top (the only time we had sugary cereal) and that was Xmas breakfast for the kids before mom& dad got up.

My grandmother always put underwear, socks, and toronne in the stockings.

Nope. I like orange juice. I like tangerines. I hate peeling oranges, and there were never enough oranges to make squeezing them for juice worthwhile.
If they were in the bowl, others in the family who actually liked eating oranges could enjoy them.

Oh, no, Zen. So much surgery and recovery ~ma to your sister's partner. And strength to her. Jesus, what the hell?
My sister does the same thing, sj. And, in fact, I got too much for just his stocking, too, so there will be overflow. Heh, one set I ordered was, I thought, small bottles of different hot sauces. Nope. Big ol' bottles. That will have to just get wrapped now. I need to go back and check what I paid for that! I was being pretty budget conscious, I thought.
