Jim's mom made all of these stockings and they fill me with unbelievable joy every year when we hang them up. It wouldn't be the same if we had some generic stocking from a box store. I feel so lucky that Max was born before Granny Patty died. Alicia is making stockings for some folks in our extended circle who weren't as lucky.
Mine has Patty's original Girl Scout membership pin and a ham radio on it. (She had her ham license too.) Max's has the Golden Gate Bridge on his.
Jim's is a newer one, but he has the one she made from when he was a wee lad.
