The Growing Tradition of Christmas Stockings
We’ve added only one new stocking this year. Sixty-two years ago our mantle held only two stockings. Now, we have 35 with another one on the way. This is what happens when you have four kids who had 14 kids who have, at present, seven more. The more the merrier!
I think they’ll all be here for Christmas to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Glory to God in the highest and peace to men of good will.

Sally, this is an amazing picture of your fireplace and family stockings. I admire your talent of having this tradition and they will never forget it. When I am filling my adult familiies stockings, I think of your mantle every year! God’s blessings to you, dear friend, and Merry Christmas.
Beautiful mantel picture and the story behind it!
