That'll be me ... and the pets have stockings
. We've got pet advent calendars this year too. I've only got one that's left home, and they're here first thing Christmas morning. I think once they're opening presents with their own children, it'll be different.
I'm guessing you don't have 22 kids though?!
The only reason Sue still puts up a stocking for every single one of them, regardless of age and how many kids they have themselves now, is purely for the Instagram likes. Look how big our family is everyone!!!
In reality, there's absolutely no point displaying a stocking for Chris, Sophie etc. They won't be there Christmas morning, they'll be with their own kids (who most normal grandparents would be looking to spoil ahead of their now adult children). I find the whole concept weird, like when they still include them in the Easter Egg mountain pic for Instagram each year, despite them not living there to eat it with them. It's all for show, much like everything they do.
I guess we're only days away now from the yearly advent calendar brag and elf on the shelf
tit. Joy! Chocolate for breakfast in the Radford household again then.
