Did you always get an orange in your x-mas stockings too?
 

Every single year, no matter how many times I'd let it sit and go rotten... I'd still get an orange in my stocking the next year.

One thing that's for sure... I'll never put my child through that... NO MORE ORANGES!

i never did.. but I did get a razor one year. :(

lol right i hear that

:1orglaugh @getting an orange in your stocking

I remember that.
Can't stand oranges, So I don't buy oranges anymore just orange juice for the kids.

its ok if its one of those orange chocolate things you wack real hard and it breaks apart if perfect wedges.. anyone know what im talking about?

Yes.

They're yummy.

Yeah along with all the other goodies we got an orange and a mixture of nuts like pecans and walnuts...never ate those which made my pops happy because he did...LOL

Madarin. Every year.

Nope but I would have liked it i've always liked my fruits and veggies...

Nope never got that. Is it a west coast thing??

But I was reading in the paper about a kid in socal that is selling chunks of coal on the corner. He has already made 100$.

neve even once.

I've never heard of that tradition before.

Being in Socal it would really suck.... oooooo, they went into the back yard, and picked an orange and put it in my stocking.... fuck you too!

Every god damn year.

Old school tradition.God bless moms

never got a orange.. what is the deal with that anyways

No, its a tradition.

It started when oranges were real expensive and considered quite the treat. Kids would get them in their stockings and be thrilled because it wasn't very often that they got to sink their teeth into a nice juicy orange.

Santa at my dads always brought oranges and nuts. We never liked nuts but of course my dad loved them. Sneaky bastard.

not that I recall

hmm..never got an orange before. i do, however, get M&M's in that Candy Cane shaped plastic thing in my stocking every year. :thumbsup

yes

yep! or an apple

Moms Rock! :thumbsup

yes! that's what i got in my stocking every year, not an actual orange, the choco ball that you smack to make fall apart like an orange.

mmmmm :glugglug

no that would suck

Yep always got one and now I do it with my kids, after the chocolate I use to eat the orange next. I remember my nan telling me the stories of the oranges being expensive and a real treat to get.

Smurfette

Yep. Also a Hershey bar, a candy cane, and one of those storybook looking things that opened up and had about 8 or 10 rolls of different flavored life savers.

Well when I was a kid yes... not anymore :(

vitamin C is good for you. you should eat it.

LOL.... I always got 2 oranges.. one in the middle of my stocking and one at the bottom :helpme



Ivy

ALWAYS get an orange! If I didn't get one.. well,t hat just wouldn't be Christmas!

Oranges in your stockings? Am I missing something?

I always get a cheeseburger in my stocking.

I got the shelled walnuts, almonds, etc..... and the books with the lifesavers etc... a hollow chocolate santa and usually some sort of earrings or something from avon that gave me a allergic reaction.

My brother always got contact lens solution in there too.. ha

No man, I get CASH :thumbsup

:1orglaugh at my Grandparents house I did...I totally forgot about that!

Yes :)

i love oranges, apple, grapes, chocolates etc

my parents were to cheap to even get me a stocking let alone an orange in it... but my grandma did.. and i kept throwing it away while saying this to her

"throw this thing away, never know what those crazy old people put in there... just like apples on halloween, could bite into it and get a needle or something!"

and she would always get mad...

Yes, every single Christmas without fail there would be a couple of mandarins in my stocking. :thumbsup
