Well, you are too late. I woke up early to make bacon and eggs for breakfast. Yum! I don't normally make breakfast, but I thought I would today.
I hope everyone is enjoying their day, whatever they are doing or not doing. It's a bright sunshine filled day, but I am not sure of the temperature. I think it's supposed to be relatively warm though.
I assume it will be a bit slow here on mylot land today with half the world celebrating and half the world sleeping.
If you celebrate Christmas, do you exchange stockings?

I think exchanging stocking is nice, but anymore you are just buying people gift cards to put in them.

@sallypup Yes, and no. I mean, that's a cute idea, but it would just be a clutter-er, wouldn't it?

@ScribbledAdNauseum Blech. A person could at least go to a dollar store and buy silly little cars and such to put in the sock.

I haven't for quite a few years either, but I still have friends that hang stockings for their other adult family members and of course for the doggies.

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. We do not do it either, but I have friends that still do this with their spouses and families.

@ScribbledAdNauseum We never exchanged socks, but the day of the Epiphany (January 6th) in Italy, kids used to hand that long sock on the fireplace mantle. During the night the sock was filled with candies and chocolates by figure called "La Befana".

@LadyDuck La Befana is not Santa? As a child, we always believed it was Santa to fill our stockings, and that is where coal would be if we were bad. In later years we would get chewing gum that was colored black and supposed to be coal.

The things that you hang from the fireplace. They are usually long, and red with white fluffy stuff at the top.

@JustBhem Oh I see. I am not sure which country made them popular, but I do believe they were used many many years ago for the poor.

Thank You! Same to you. I'll be getting off here in a moment to get ready for our celebrations.

I haven't had a stocking in years. I think I had one with my ex husband, but it's been so many years I can't really remember.
