History of Our Christmas Stockings!

This is a craft that has gotten a lot more complicated over the years - but I am up to the task! The one thing that I miss -- ( and my daughter also told me she misses it too ) is that the names are no longer ON the stockings but rather on a tag that hangs from the stocking. Why is that?

But anyways, ...thanks Mom, for all the stitches, and all the love, in every stocking that you made for us. We remember you on Christmas and everyday...with great affection and gratitude.
