I'd wake up in the night and put a hand out to feel whether the full stocking was there. My hand felt something inside and a shiver of excitement went through me. Can still feel that when i think about it...

At whatever o'clock, I woke up to see my Dad tip-toeing into our room with two bulging pillow cases, one for me and one for my twin sister. Although I lay there secretly watching him with one eye shut, the scales dropped from my eyes that night....... I got caught out like that filling my sons stocking. His eyes opened and he stared right at me and said 'it's you isn't it'?
