At what age do you discontinue filling stockings for your children? My kids are 21-25 years old and I still fill the stockings. This year I made a stocking for my son's girlfriend.

The youngest kid in our family (not counting grandkids) is 24... no 25. The youngest is 25 and my mom STILL fills our stockings! Of course, that means the grandkids get TWO stockings for Christmas. Well, my sister's kids do, anyway. My brother and his wife don't do Santa for their kids. Don't know if they will in the future, but they've never done it yet.

Everyone seems to be posting the same response, Keep the Stockings stuffed! As I stated, I will be keeping the stocking up. Thankx

Everyone always got a stocking. One year when the grandkids were older I didn't do stockings. My granddaighters let me know they really missed it. They loved getting the little stuff, I never spent alot of money on the stuff. I would always put a few rocks in there for fun too. I would tease them before Christmas that was all they were getting. You are never to old for a stocking.

I know my kids expect a stocking. that's funny about your grand daughters..LOL. Rocks, kind of like lumps of coal. I threaten to fill my oldest son's stocking with coal.. I will more than likly use the gift cards and candy/fruit.

I would say that if it is a tradition that they enjoy, they are never too old. LOL. I just pictured middle aged children gathering at their mom's and dad's house and looking in their stocking; so I guess they would get too old at some point.

Yeah,I guess we are always looking for that little extra something special. Come to thnk about it, I did not get a stocking from my dad last year. I always did from my mother, but I lost her recently.
