As soon as his daughter realized her stocking wasn’t hanging up with the rest of them, she got really upset and ended up leaving after dinner was finished.
“I tried to explain to her that it was NOT intentional, and I reminded her how much we all love her,” he said.
“We thought she would be spending another Christmas away from the family like the past three years (except this time with her new boyfriend instead of ex). From what she told me, her relationship with him is too new to be spending over there on big holidays, so that’s why she agreed to spend it here. The no stocking was out of sheer habit because we were so used to her not spending Christmas here ever since she moved out.”
“She’s almost 30 and is very upset with me and has been crying. I feel like she’s overreacting, and not sure how to calm her down. The name stockings are only for decoration. There’s no gifts in them. I already bought a nice gift for her and will be making one of her favorite foods for Christmas dinner.”
He’s left wondering if it was mean of him to forget to stop hanging up his daughter’s stocking when she stopped coming home for Christmas.
