My twin and I
New vocabulary
Bit too big for Christmas stocking
A 1950’s game for family use
Crazy guesses extremely fun
Inspired much laughter
I still love it

Downstairs he had gone
He looked left then he spied right
Joyously, he screamed
His stocking, was full of toys
A big wide smile crossed his face

Hang up your stocking
It is almost Christmas time
Did you do laundry?
If you want stuff in your sock,
you had better wash it first!

He could not find the great sock
His own was small and lonely
On the dream filled night he saw
Father’s stocking hung

An exceptional wit can sometimes be shocking
Affecting the proverbial Christmas stocking,
I cannot remember being left so in stitches
As an adult, I got a stocking full of switches.

Hanging there with pride
One of my Dad's old work socks
A simple Christmas
Filled with love and some small gifts
Precious memories of home

Candy canes, sugar cookies and more
Sneaking joy into stockings galore
Except for Uncle Bob
Who was always a slob
His held brush, comb and blade he’d ignore

You are the gum at the bottom of my screwball.
 
You are the action figure in my happy meal.
 
You are the x-ray glasses from my bubblegum wrappers.
 
You are the decoder ring in my cereal box. 
 
You are the bumps and buldges that fill my Christmas stocking. 
 
You are the sole present under my tree.
 
You are the best surprise life has offered.
 
You make me the happiest I could ever be....

it's just a Christmas stocking 
green with fluff around the top
the difference is the love I feel
your pet name for me across the top

hung by the mantel with all of the rest
displayed for friends and family to see
adding me to your holiday list
our first together with many more to come

as we check the names off as we buy
shopping together for the gifts we need
this promises to be the best Christmas yet
your name is at the top of my list...

What a disappointment, and not very nice,
when a hockey game is cancelled for bad ice.
For some reason, the refrigeration unit goes on the blink.
Because of it, there is rough and inconsistent ice on the rink.
There will be no slap shots, checking, and scoring of a goal.
It’s just like getting a Christmas stocking full of coal.
There will be no lights and sirens, and not even one fight.
The teams will have to give it a go on another night.

Christmas Stockings were locked up tight most of the year
It will be worth the wait, you’ll see, please have no fear,
Said a mouse who knew all about the magic of a stocking surprise.
Wait until you see the children’s delighted eyes!
They will pull out of you candy, twinkle lights and more.
They will clutch you to their hearts, that will truly happily soar.
I wish in my next life to come back as a Christmas Stocking too.
Christmas morning is worth it, I have seen quite a few....
