Running

Out for 6.42 km at 0830.

A 4-miler in the wind and pouring rain. The first 3 km were sheer mind over matter, but then something clicked and the rest was fun, even though I was completely soaked through.

Chocolate coins

In our house, no Christmas stocking could possibly be complete without a bag of chocolate coins from Santa :-)

Christmas stockings

So, what has to go in a Christmas stocking? What is it not a 'real' stocking without?

I do small stockings for the kids each year, to open first thing in the morning (we do the big presents mid-morning, with champagne). Each stocking has ten items, no more no less. One of those items has to be a bag of chocolate coins. Another is always a snowman bath bomb from Lush. These are non-negotiables.

I also usually put in a trashy magazine each (ponies for DD, soccer for DS). This year they're getting a small tube of indoor sparklers each. DD might get some nail varnish. The rest of the items will depend on what I see over the next couple of weeks.

What do you put in Christmas stockings?
