Convenience store stocking stuffers – when creativity really counts

For Shades Mountain Christian School Music and Choir Director Erin Pair Evans, a favorite Christmas tradition started a few years ago, quite by accident.

Erin Paris Evans’ family was driving home from visiting family on Christmas Eve when they realized Santa forgot to get stocking stuffers. As it was almost midnight, and the only place they found open was a gas station. They stopped, went inside and proceeded to shop alternate aisles (so as not to let the other see) and pick out goodies for the stockings. Now every Christmas Eve, they go to a random place (gas stations, drug stores, etc.) and load up on stocking stuffers.
