When I was a kid, before Mum got us each a “proper” Santa stocking, we used to use Dad’s socks (clean ones).

One year, one of my brothers decided the socks weren’t big enough. So he put up a pillow case! Not to be out done by his big brother, my other brother decided a doona cover was a much better idea…

Both boys were disappointed, however, because neither the pillow case or doona were full of gifts! They still received the same number of gifts they would have received with the sock. Santa isn’t fooled by a bigger Santa stocking 😉
