Every year when Christmas rolls around there are so many things to do. Every Christmas Eve we read about Jesus’ birth from the Bible. After giving thanks to the Lord, sometimes we go into the den where the stockings are hanging and grab one gift. After that we wait unto morning until we open our gifts. Sometimes morning comes very early. After that, if I am not working we will have a huge breakfast my wife puts together. While she is getting everything ready, it’s time for me to go over the stocking stuffers I opened. Sometimes the bigger things for a stocking stuffer just won’t fit in the stocking. They may be hid someplace else. Getting that new fishing line in the winter time only makes me think about springtime coming.
I will grab some of the stocking gifts and bring them into the living room and look them over. I start to think about fishing even though it’s hunting season. I can smell the tenderloin cooking as I look things over and I try to sneak into the kitchen and grab a piece of that tenderloin. I don’t normally get away with it, she catches me. After she sends me out of the kitchen she feels bad for me and then I can get a taste of the tenderloin. Then I get warned not to come back in the kitchen. I go to my recliner chair and think about how I can catch more fish with the new lures.
There are so many things that can be put into the Christmas stocking, I cannot name them all. If you are opening the last gift in the stocking and it’s a small one and it’s not the big gift you are looking for, it just might say “go to the garage for your surprise.” Here is a small list that might help with some stocking stuffers, big or small, for the women or men in your life.
