A Special Holiday Shoutout!
Did you know the tradition of hanging stockings has a quirky backstory? It all started when Santa accidentally grabbed his laundry bag instead of the gift bag—at least, that’s how the story goes in my children’s book Merry Christmas Santa, Sorry Your Foot's Cold! If you’re crafting with kids, be sure to read the story while you work—it’s the perfect way to set the holiday mood.
