Oh, yes, we always got fruit in our stockings. We weren't that crazy about it, but I guess our parents considered it a treat.
I always put fruit in my kids' stockings but they always ending up having a fruit fight with it.
It wasn't pretty.
So I bought plastic fruit and now I use that. It's good year after year.
You can't have a stocking without plastic fruit and nuts!!!
Re: Christmas fruit in stockings. My dad, born in 1908, told me that when he was growing up, that he only got oranges at Christmas time and they were considered to be very special.
