I do, in my own quiet way. I have my few decorations up, and my little tree, and the Christmas lights are turned on at night in expectation of the Savior's arrival. I have a tiny stocking, which doesn't get filled, but is out anyway for show, and I play Christmas music for several days before the "big day".

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I will cook a Christmas meal, and I will take half of the food over to a friend who is unable to drive. I have a very small gift for him, and he usually gives me something small as well.

@4meAndyou That is really special. 🤗💖💖💖🤗 I think as we get older the stockings are just for decoration. I still have mine from when I was a kid. ☺

@Musicman My mother threw all of our Christmas stuff away a long time ago. I remember the things that got put inside my childhood Christmas stocking, (toothbrushes, sample toothpaste, candy and dental floss), but I don't remember the stocking itself.

@4meAndyou I remember fruit and nuts. Maybe some candy. I also still have the balls for the tree too. Now a few have broken over the years, but I have at least 3/4 of the box left.

@Musicman I couldn't use normal sized Christmas ornaments for my tiny, tiny tree...so I gave one very special one made of volcanic glass from Mount St. Helen's eruption to my son, and I was forced to sell all the rest at the yard sale my son made me have on his front lawn.

@4meAndyou I am sorry to hear that ☹ I haven't used the balls from my childhood in years. Mainly I don't trust Padoodle. Lol!!! We haven't put up a tree since Covid. ☹
