When I was 16 my mom was ill at Christmas, so on Christmas Eve I took on the task of playing Santa – getting the presents under the tree and filling the Christmas stockings. It was probably 10:30 at night on Christmas Eve when I realized that Mom had gotten stocking stuffers for my sister and I, but the boy friendly stocking stuffers for my brother were sadly very few. This was before 24 hour Walmarts and my brother ended up with a lot of candy from the gas station because that was all I could find. So my advice, plan ahead.
