I just have to share this story...since you brought it up.
I love this idea of wrapping the December babies in stockings because I happen to be one! (many, many) Years ago, a group of volunteers made such stockings at the hospital where I was born and gave one to my mother for me. Once I was home, she cut it down and made the Christmas stocking I have hung by the fire for the past umhmm years. What's interesting is that the health system I work for, as Volunteer Director, bought that hospital in the 1990's. Even though we're in a different facility with a different name, I still think there's a connection. You never know how your volunteers will touch people's lives!
