My family has done stockings for years with small stuff like socks, candy, and toiletries, but my partner thinks it's kind of outdated. I'm not sure if we should keep doing it with our kids or if most families have moved on from this by now.
I'd keep doing them if your kids still get excited about opening them - that's really what matters. The "outdated" thing is kind of a myth; plenty of families still do stockings, just like plenty don't. What makes traditions stick around isn't whether they're trendy, it's whether people actually enjoy them, and if your family has done this for years with kids who look forward to it, that's a solid reason to keep going.
stockings are still pretty common in a lot of households, though yeah some families have dropped them. it really comes down to what works for your kids and whether you enjoy the tradition - there's no rule saying you have to follow what everyone else does.
