We went camping over Christmas. We had very little cell phone reception and no internet. Having the time outdoors and with family was quite lovely. We actually did the unwrapping of presents before we went so we would not have to figure out how to bring it with us.
I have a formula for Christmas stockings: socks, books, pajamas/nightgown, hat, mitts, something about tea or coffee, an ornament, and maybe something with paper. I find that I have to do my own stockings. Mainly because no one else in the family sews or crochets. I make the nightgown, hat, and mitts. My loved ones try to figure out the rest. They could not figure out how to get the patio and firepit into my stocking. I have not used it yet because it is really not finished but it is lovely.
As I was making nightgowns for other people (still embrodering one), I took some cotton and linen and fabric with white lace and pieced a nightgown together for myself. I worked with what I have but I know my loved ones would not have been able to find anything similar unless it was very expensive. Everything I like lately is 200 Euros and it is mostly online from France or Britian.
This nightgown is just lovely.
