Oh the Joy of Christmas Stockings. I just love that extra bit of fun when the children, after opening their gifts, remember the stockings are full and run to open them. But I have always had trouble with the added cost for small toys that probably will be lost within the space of a week and how much candy it took to fill the stockings. So one year we decided to ask Santa to bring us all breakfast instead. What fun! Each of our stockings were filled to the top with cereals, juices, oranges, nuts, special coffee for mom and dad, and other treats. So now after the presents are opened the children run to their stockings, take them to the table to open them, we all sit down, and have breakfast together as a family. Some ideas for breakfast: Cereal, nuts, fruits especially oranges and anything unusual, animal crackers, hot chocolate, breath mints, vitamins, trail mix, candied fruit, pretzels, figs and other dried fruit, candy canes, smoked salmon, cheese, granola bars, hot cider, small juice boxes, summer sausages, beef jerky, coffee flavorings, tea, and oatmeal packages.
