I'm an older woman too but who cares? Enjoy! life is too short but your stocking sounds like the best. Hope you have the best Christmas ever. Every one I've had has been the best ever and that's been through the bad years.

I'm 50 and still use the one I had as a girl: red flannel, white fold over with my name machine embroidered in green. At some long-past Christmas, I had a few too many chocolates and upchucked on it. When my mother laundered it, the red bled into the white, so now the fold over is pink. Unfortunately, Santa doesn't fill it -- so I put my own favorite candies and little trinkets in it.

I bought my kids' stockings. They are needlepointed, one with Santa, the other with a tree, and their names machine embroidered in white on the red velvet top. They look big but because of the construction are quite flat and don't hold much -- less work for Santa.

My father still has his from childhood. He was born in 1928 and his stocking looks more like a knee sock than the L-shaped flat stockings of later years. It's plain red with a white cuff and his name embroidered in his mother's rather shaky stitching.

mine has little rocking horses on it, its knitted, and has pompoms, can't really remember the rest, getting worried that soon I won't get one anymore, but my housemate is 26 and still gets one....

I have a white woollen sack with santa on the front I've had since I was born, I'm 28 now.

I still get one but the deal now me and my brother are grown up, if we get one then my parents get one too :)
