Yes, even though Son is nearly 18, we are still doing the pillowcase thing (I think some call this the ‘Santa sack’). Our tradition, since he was born – derived from my parents’ tradition – is for him to leave an empty pillowcase at the end of his bed on Christmas Eve which then gets magically filled with presents before the morning.
I have never loved doing something as much as I love doing this! I always get so excited that I am the first one to wake up on Christmas morning – sometimes as early as 4am – then I have to go back to bed and wait for Son to wake up.
I guess this will be the last Christmas I go to such efforts – ha!

Not necessarily – Tory Boy is 21 and still has a stocking! Do it for as long as he wants you to, and ignore his age.
Merry Christmas!
Oh – ok! Yay!
I forgot to put the photo into post – done now.
Merry Christmas to you and Tory Boy!
That is so sweet! Merry Christmas 🙂
You too!
This was a tradition in my own family when we were little – can’t remember when it ceased – probably when we were teenagers. I think it is a lovely tradition & rather nice to keep it up – regardless of age.
We might do it next year too then!
What a cool, creative tradition! I love it!
Me too!
