After a video of her emptyChristmasstocking went viral, a woman said her husband won’t let it happen again.

Aubree Jones, a Utah mother of six, shared a video toTikToklast year that showed all her family’s stockings hung up for the holiday. In the clip, when her husband Josh came across one empty stocking, he thought it was an extra, when it actually belonged to his wife.

“PSA for husbands everywhere,” she wrote alongside the video. “Your wife’s stocking is your responsibility.”

This year, Aubree toldTodaythat he won’t be making the same mistake and “will be sure to fill mine.”

The response to the original video, which was shot in 2021 and posted ahead of Christmas in 2023, according to the outlet, was intense — and at the time, Aubree came to his defense, evenposting a follow-up videowith new scenes from their Christmas.

She added, “He forgot to fill my stocking, but definitely remembered to make me feel loved and special through gifts and many other things.”

Aubree toldTodayher original video was meant to be “lighthearted thing to show what moms go through,” but instead “there was a lot of unnecessary negativity directed at Josh.”

Stockings aside, the Aubree insisted that her husband “has always been amazing” with the Christmas gifts he gives her — and that they’ve always split their parenting holiday duties when it comes to their kids.
