From Santa’s Orchards, Printable Sticker
Does Santa visit your house on St. Nick’s Day? He visits ours. Well, I guess it’s not so much a visit as a doorbell ditch. But he leaves behind stockings full of goodies, so that’s good enough for us.
I consider myself a purist when it comes to stocking stuffers. There always has to be a mandarin or tangerine in the toe. And I insist on nuts, always in the shell, even though I’m the only one who will eat them.
This Sunday when Santa comes, the mandarins will be authentic, straight from the north pole. And naturally they will have the appropriate produce stickers (they can be printed on labels like these). Maybe Santa will leave some mandarins for the neighbors too.

This is so perfect! I’m totally going to do this for my mom!
Every year when she was little my grandpa (as Santa) would put an orange in the toe of her stocking. The tradition continued to me and my brother and sister–wouldn’t be Christmas without it! :)

We always have an orange in the toe too. Love this idea – very cute.
Growing up we always had nuts in shells and made boat out of the walnuts and birthday candles.

love your site and love this tut too! i know it’s april now (and i am thinking spring), but i’m going to book mark this because @ christmastime we do an old french tradition with the kids. they leave their shoes by the door on christmas eve, and ‘papa noel’ leaves them a wrapped orange and apple in their shoes (along with toys too, or course). thank you so much for the printable tags- they are awesome!

Great idea! We never got chocolate or other candy in our stockings but we always got some reallly good sharp cheddar cheese and fancy crackers. I still look forward to cheese in my stocking and I do it for my kids too.
