Remedial xmas help needed

If you don't want to knock nails in a wooden fireplace mantle you can buy weighted stocking hanger things. Don't they just put candy in stockings?

Good luck on being a last minute Santa. For the airplane I'd just hit every conceivable store until you find it.

Go to a hobby store for the airplane. They'll have some cheaper beginner ones that you can play with.

When we did Christmas, stockings were stuffed overnight at Christmas when the presents were put out.

I have a tile fireplace. I saw the hanger things, I just am cheap and didn't want to drop the $$$ for something we'll use for one night. What do people without fireplaces do? Target dollar section had lots of cool little wooden toys that I got for the stockings. I got myself a cool old timey egg beater for $2.50 (because in my sad world I stuff my own stocking) and Michael a flask (that he'll never ever use except to crack jokes with). I still need to get candy.

Alex - that's a good idea about the hobby shop. There's one right across the street too.

I was talking to Indi earlier trying to figure out exactly what he was expecting Santa to bring him. The end of the conversation went like this:

Me: What if Santa can't find an airplane with a propeller? What if he brings a really cool one that doesn't have a propeller?

Indi: Santa sees you when you're sleeping. He knows where to get stuff.
