Day 128.  Today I wanted to show off some of Stacy's handiwork. All of our stockings are handmade and stitched by her.  They are counted cross stitch patterns.  Mine wasn't too bad, but look on down at Annie's, the entire front is covered with stitches.  It took her several years to complete all of them.  It was pretty funny looking over the years when some of them were done and others weren't so we used plane stockings, and had some stitched and some not.  They all served their purpose so it was ok, it just looked kind of funny.  She started working on a tree skirt several years ago, but stopped to complete the stockings, and we have a quilted tree skirt, anyway.  Maybe someday she will work on it again, but it's ok if she doesn't, I like the quilted one.  So, we have personalized ornaments and stockings, and we have a collection of Nativity scenes,( see day 18).  I guess we have our own Christmas traditions that we are passing down to our kids.  When the kids grow up and have their own families they will start their own traditions.  I'm still not sure if Stacy and I will allow them to take their ornaments and stockings.  I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
