Ryan is a holiday fanatic. He has a proper procedure for everything holiday related. We have to personally cut down our own Christmas tree (I'm talking boots, gloves and a saw) no later than 14 days after Thanksgiving and promptly decorate it upon our return. All other decorations must be in place by the weekend following Thanksgiving including the set of nutcrackers and "smokers" that he collected when he was a boy. We have to bake at least 5 different varieties of holiday cookies, not including the mandatory Christmas tree bread his mother used to bake for him when he was young. He must have pine cones and garland and lights strung all over the house and even though we have no chimney he is working on a strategy for the necessary stockings.
I find him endlessly cute so instead of fighting his overly specific holiday endeavors, I decided to embrace them. When he was young, his favorite part of Christmas morning was opening the presents in his stocking because "that's always where they hide the small, but good stuff." That is why I took it upon myself to create a Stocking Stuffer section in our boutique where you will find wonderful options for "small, but good" presents to stuff in the stocking of your loved ones.
