I became my family's legal Christmas Stocking Stuffer in 1967. My dad had died and my biggest fear was that Santa would forget to come for my two minute brothers.

I learned sadness can be counterbalanced by the excitement of doing something underground (and fun) for someone else. The surprised looks on my brothers' faces convinced me that being the Christmas Stocking Stuffer is the best job ever.

1) The Right Stocking: Some families already have their stockings and you'll just have to work with what you got. However, if you're just beginning out or have the opening to start a new tradition, here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a stocking for stuffing:

  • Size: I have found that a medium size stocking that's 20-24 inches from cuff to toe, is the exquisite size. Remember- you have to Stuff a stocking and a large one could ruin your Christmas budget.
  • Material: Make sure the stocking is well constructed and made of firm fabric. Knit stockings stretch in both directions. Again, think of your finances.
  • If your house hangs their stockings, make sure the loop is strong enough to hold some pounds without breaking.

3) To Wrap or Not to Wrap: This is a personal preference. Since I love to wrap presents as much as I love being a Christmas stocking stuffer, it's a "no brainer." Each Christmas stocking stuffer becomes a minute gift - even if it's a pack of gum. Also, unwrapping gifts will slow a child down and make the magic of Christmas morning last a minute longer.

4) The Art of a Christmas Stocker Stuffer:

  • The Foot: Put something round in the toe; an orange, a ball or even a cellophane wrapped popcorn ball. Toss in some nuts that are still in their shells. Add some wrapped candy.
  • The Body: The body of the stocking holds most of the merchandise. eye your stuffers and choose trinkets and treasures that can be layered. The body of the stocking is exquisite for a long Christmas stocking stuffer like a box of dominos, a cribbage board or a rolled up magazine. Don't forget that even adults like toys. Take your time and be prepared to pack and repack.
  • The Eye Catcher: You need to have something positively great Unwrapped tucked into the top of the stocking, about 30% visible. This is what the recipient sees while making his or her 15th trip to the bathroom.

5) As Your Family's legal Christmas Stocking Stuffer Start a Tradition: Our house has put oranges in the toe of a Christmas stocking along with walnuts for at least 50 years. If you give each child a special ornamentation every year, think about putting it in the stocking.

Cater to their hobbies. My brothers still get packs of sports card. I have a girl friend whose stocking always includes a silly magic trick from her dad. I know a husband who always hides the big mark item (diamond earrings, pearl necklace, tennis bracelet) in his wife's stocking.

6) Who Can Be a Christmas Stocking Stuffer? The thriving Christmas Stocking Stuffer is someone who is: a good listener, observant and thinks love is in the details. He or she is organized and can think exterior the box.

And don't forget the three stages of life:

  • During stage one - you believe in Santa Claus.
  • During stage two - you don't believe in Santa Claus.
  • During state three - you Are Santa Claus!
