Santa worked over time on a Christmas Stocking holder for a family of 40+. Top Row is the original family and in most cases the stockings they grew up with. Parents and 6 kids and their spouses in birth order. Middle Rack is the Grandchildren and in some cases their spouses because they range from (33 to 3) and then on the bottom row Great Grandchildren.
It's really cool to have a large extended family. We always hold our Christmas together the day after Christmas. The party includes appetizers, wine tasting, a large lunch buffet and soooo many desserts. Then a massive gift exchange.
This year we exchanged everything from earth friendly...a soil kit and the bags at the grocery store that you can use over and over again, but never actually buy..someone made a donation in our name to the Local Food Bank, family heirlooms were gifted out(which brought joy and even tears to many eyes), maple syrup from a family maple syrup farm, favorite wines, to books, homemade goodies,blankets and games. It was awesome!
