What’s your definition of what should be in a stocking?
I’m forever in a perpetual disagreement with the missus about what should be in a stocking.
Me Northerner from working class background - small, cheap bits with a few edibles, and things that pass the time over the festive period like small puzzle books / things you have to build. Our stockings as kids were designed to keep us busy in our rooms so my parents could sleep an extra 3-4 hours after my 4am wake up.
Her Middle Class Southerner- anything that’s small enough to fit in a stocking, I’m talking clothes, jewellery etc and the stocking is opened alongside the presents.
I look like a right tool when she’s pulling put an orange and and some after eights, whilst I’m pulling out one of the presents I wanted.
I just can’t get my head around it enough though to change.
