I think being creative in shopping for the stocking stuffers is great fun. It's our tradition to put an orange or tangerine in the toe, along with some small chocolates. We wrap our stocking stuffers to make it more fun to find out what is in the stocking. Then on to the main event, the presents under the tree!MoeWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316286980472111253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-16719490236603968782010-12-04T14:32:18.385+10:002010-12-04T14:32:18.385+10:00What a great giveaway.
