The answers to today's Strands, game #297, are COAL SOCKS PENS SCARF TOYS 
CANDY ORANGE PLUSHIE SPANGRAM: STOCKING My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

My mother would always put a piece of COAL  neatly wrapped up of course  in 
our Christmas STOCKING, a tradition she continued into my adult life. 

I always thought that it was intended as a reminder of the real meaning of 
Christmas amid the ramped-up consumerism, ridiculously raised expectations 
and over sentimentality. But then she told me the real reason  she thought it 
was funny. 

I also liked my Grandfathers tradition of re-gifting the present Id bought 
him the previous year back to me. The first couple of times I thought it was 
an error  three Old Spice gift sets in and I knew it was deliberate. 

Todays Strands was surprisingly tricky and it took me ages to work out that 
the final letters I had left spelled out PLUSHIE.
