…because every Of course, you give stockings to family members. It was a Christmas tradition I grew up with (paw-shaped stockings and all) and it’s so important 🙂 My mom, Brenda, stuffs a stocking for each pet. She puts in toys, treats, catnip, a laser pointer, etc. and then she gets me, her 32-year-old daughter, to open the stockings on Christmas morning and hand out a present for each pet in the house. We are a really small family, just the two of us, so it’s nice to share the love. Highly recommended.
That’s it! Any other ideas? You know where to throw it away… xx
