I used to get a new pair of PJs for giftmas eve every year - even as an adult (I used to stay at mum's place on giftmas eve - it was a ritual). My stocking (which I've still got) had little things in it as well.

I'm probably going to do one for DH this year - I need to make him a stocking. I found mine the other day while unpacking a box of stuff that had been at mum's place, which I have only just got around to unpacking and she died in 04.
