Every year, I mean EVERY, one of my mother's stocking hangers breaks! This year, there was a little more to the incident... We were putting up the tree, and talking about the commercial side of Christmas. Noah asked which stocking was his, and Aaron pointed it out, he got so excited he kind of pulled on the stocking, and CRASH...down it came. Poor Noah cried really hard for about 45 minutes. (so hard he was sweating) His toes were black and blue, and bloody. Aaron gave him a blessing, and things calmed down. I waited for about 4 hours, my folks came home from the Temple, and then off to the ER we went. I waited just to see what the toes would do, he couldn't move them, so I was worried about a broken bone...
The toe I was worried about is fine. There is a small fracture on his big toe, its a hair-line, so the doctor said to keep him off his feet today! Then he can walk as he is comfortable. He will lose the nail, but that will take quite awhile!
This is the stocking holder, you can see that "frosty's" head is sideways behind his body... it weighs about 5 lbs.
And this is what happens when a stocking holder smashes 2 of your toes. I do have a "close up" of his toes, but it is a little gross....
