The artifact I chose to analyze for my Catholic side is the classic Christmas stocking. Our family, every year around Christmas time, pins up five personalized stockings. There is one for each family member and one for my dog, Bodie. The stockings get filled, not only with teeth-rotting candies, but also gift cards and other little gifts that are very personal and important. I love this part of Christmas because I never know what I am going to get, but somehow every single year I always love whats inside my stocking. I also love filling other family members stockings and watching them open them up on Christmas morning

because they are always happily surprised. The stocking not only represents a small, fun, and exciting gift, but also represents the closeness of family and the personalities of each individual family member. Everyone knows so much about each other that we are able to personalize and surprise each other with these small gifts and yet they are so much fun to open because I know my mom, dad and sister went out of their way to make it the best stocking possible. Stocking represent the family bond during the holiday and nothing makes me more happy then to share all of the excitement with everyone.
