Happy St.Nick's Day! Have you checked your socks? hahaha! I can't believe St.Nicks is here already, oh the holidays are creeping up on us! (well on me!) It's times like this I think fondly of my childhood. When I was little my mother had handmade our stockings (or was it my grandma?) Either way they were handmade and wonderful! I remember running downstairs in the morning to see the stocked so full they couldn't hang anymore! It was full of candy and small gifts. Many years in a row I got Beanie Babies in mine. I remember sitting in front of our heatvent (it was always cold in our house) in the morning admiring everything. I also wonder what my mom must feel like now. None of the children are at home anymore, no more stockings to fill. Does she miss it, is she too remembering fondly of our happy faces and excitement? Is she happy to have one less thing to worry about? Is she still hanging our stockings up or has the thought of St. Nick completely gone out of mind, has she forgotton?
I also think happily of the day when I sneek candy and gifts into my own children's (homemade) stockings. I can't wait to see thier excited faces as they enjoy thier new gifts and candy. ahh but that's a long long time from now...still I dream.
Que Sera Sera!
Blessings on your journey!
