What Are Your Stuffing Your Christmas Stockings With
“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…” Well, you know how the verse goes, but now, we want to know what are you stuffing in your stockings? The Mike & Carla Morning Show really wanted to know!
Clearly times have changed and stocking stuffers are not just candy and those little things that kids love. Adults are getting in the action and the stuff being put in is getting a little more expensive!
What Do You Stuff In Christmas Stockings
To be fair, Mike O’Brian admitted that his wife Jodi handles all that. So, to that point, she has to figure out what to get for the adult kids and the grandkids. Again, it’s a totally different time now.
Not just candy canes and little candies any more. Of course, Hallmark gives you quite a few ideas no matter who you are stuffing for. From running socks to a mini-photo album, and much more. They have it all right there!
Some of the listeners that called in or texted in had quite a few ideas of what to stuff in the big sock.. Some couples have gone way beyond what we knew as kids. IPhones, diamond rings and/or earrings.
Here’s another question that popped up as well. Do you do the gifts under the tree first or the stockings? Some families go for the gifts under the tree first, then see what Santa has stuffed in the sock.
The Mike O’Brian household go for the socks first, then the tree…after that, it’s over! The family does have one rule though…you have to be in the family to have one hanging on the bannister.
No “boyfriends or girlfriends”, even if you are a “fiancé”, that is NOT in the family! They are a strict bunch! Anyway, before you stuff it, listen to the segment from the other morning and it might give you a whole new perspective on the deal! Merry Christmas!!!
Santa Shines In These 5 Holiday Movie Classics
When it comes to St. Nick, I’ve been a fan ever since I was a kid. He’s a holiday superhero! That’s why I love watching a good Santa movie at Christmas time. Santa movies have given us everything from heartwarming tales and even raunchy comedies. Some of these movies hit just right and become holiday classics, while others, wouldn’t even make it on the Hallmark channel. So let’s stick to the good stuff here. The ones that make you laugh, and hit you right in the feels.
First up, there’s just something hilarious about watching a regular guy get roped into being Santa and having absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Add in some elves and reindeer who are way too serious about their jobs, and boom, instant holiday movie gold. If you’ve ever wanted to see your dad bumble around trying to do something he’s not prepared for, there’s a movie for that, and it’s The Santa Clause.
Then, you’ve got the Christmas magic of Buddy the Elf. He’s not Santa himself, but he’s basically the spirit of Christmas in oversized tights. You can’t talk about Santa without mentioning how Buddy practically forces Christmas spirit onto everyone, even a grumpy Santa who acts more like he needs a nap than a sleigh ride. He kind of reminds me of my Buddy Booger. He drives you nuts, but you can’t help but love the guy.
Okay so let’s not forget about the classics, though. If you’re tired of the latest CGI movies, an old-school black-and-white movie might just hit the spot. Miracle on 34th Street is it. I used to watch this every year with my mom. She loves it. It’s that Christmas film that reminds you there’s still magic in the world, even if it’s hiding in a courtroom.
And I cant forget about Arthur Christmas! Oh the memories! I must of watched this movie EVERY day when my daughter was little. It’s a movie where Santa’s youngest kid, who looks like he couldn’t organize a sock drawer, goes full hero to deliver a single gift. He brings the kind of dedication we should all bring to holiday shopping.
Of course, not every holiday movie plays by the rules. Sometimes you need a Saint Nick who’s more grumpy than jolly, someone who’s better at downing drinks than handing out gifts. A movie like Bad Santa is perfect for those days when you need a laugh after the kids goes to bed.
