I like to put magazines in our stickings. They're soooo expensive now and it's a nice thing to sit quiet and looke through after christmas. Usually sports illustrated for hb, motorcyle or game for son and people for daughter. Also I HAVE to put a bag of chocolate gold coins in each of the kids stockings. I've always done it , didn't thing it mattered to them but I found that wrong. They actually notice and look forward to the coins. Once I put a piece of charcoal from the neighbors's grill, just to let them know that Santa is watching.
