Does Santa fill up the actual stockings at your house?
He used to at ours, but they often were too heavy for the stocking holders, so they had to be set on the floor once the goodies were inside.
In recent years, Santa has resorted to using sturdier gift bags and just placing them underneath the stockings that are hung on the mantle.

This is probably much more efficient for Santa too, don’t you think? The stocking bags can be prefilled by the elves and all Santa has to do is set them out by the fireplace.
I’m impressed with how Santa has evolved his workflow. Smart, Santa. Smart. 🧑🏻🎄
