For me, the main event on Christmas morning is the stocking. A well stuffed stocking needs to have a new toothbrush, and a brand spanking new set of unmentionables. Once these basics have been taken care of, I can go to town with all kinds of interesting, smallish and cute items to round out the selection. Lucky for me my team's current Christmas in July sale offers up a treasure trove of small presents that are perfect for filling up that stocking.
