MWC Daily: What’s in Your Christmas Stocking?

A long-standing Christmas tradition when I was younger is that I would always get Ice Capade tickets in my Christmas stocking. What did other members of The Morning Waking Crew wake up to find in their stockings...

Roy Sullivan would get lottery tickets, Tim Tern would get chocolate coins and Don Briand would get the Life Savers book. Many listeners joined in the conversation and posted on our Facebook page about their Christmas stocking traditions. What's yours?
