Ok, I'm a PW - Stocking Games?

So for Christmas H and I aren't doing gifts because we bought this new couch and TV, blah blah blah.  My mom is coming up for Christmas and I don't want her spending a ton of money either.  So we decided to just do stockings for Christmas morning and I'd like to make it a bit more fun/interesting by doing some kind of game.  For instance, you have to fill the stocking with stuff all in one theme, or everything has to start with a certain letter or something like that.

Anyone have any ideas? :)

  • I have no clue, but this just made me think of the Mitch Hedberg joke about severed feet being perfect stocking stuffers. It makes me smile.

    My parents used to fill our stockings and then hide them somewhere in the house. My brothers and I were weird... we loved searching for our easter baskets on easter morning so my parents caved and hid our christmas stockings too. LOL! If we found someone else's stocking, we would have to re-hide it. Sometimes it took a while!

    ETA: Not that this really helps with your question, but that's what I thought of when I saw "stocking games." :)

    <3 I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    I don't have any ideas.  But this is a great concept and I might steal it. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />

    Edited to make sense.

  • Hmm...where could I find some severed feet?

    The hiding would be cool if our apt wasn't the tiniest place ever, haha.

  • I love themed stockings. One year, about four friends and I exchanged stockings, and I know mine was themed; I can't remember everyone else's. I think I did a Pink Princess themed one, ha ha!!  

    I also like the letter idea.

    My grandma always wraps each stocking item (overkill), but for this, y'all might want to do that.
