January 3, 2008 EE ER EEE LIFESTYLES The Kings Mountain Herald Greatest gift to keep on giving _ EMILY WEAVER eweaver@kingsmountainherald.com When Janie Pheagin, of Grover, recently won the “World's Largest Christmas Stocking” from Kings Mountain Pharmacy she found an even greater reward in pass- ing it on. Kings Mountain Pharmacy holds a draw- ing before the end of every year to deter- mine which one of their lucky customers will win the coveted stocking. Pheagin’s name, which was entered by her mother Audrey, was drawn from dozens of entries. When the Pheagins were informed of their win, 16-year-old Janie decided that very night to give it to another family. “She heard about someone else giving clothes to a family that was in need (being sponsored) by Christian Freedom Baptist Church,” Mrs. Pheagin said. Clothes were being collected at the church for a family with six children. Janie felt bad that the kids would not receive any toys and decided to donate her new stock- ing. The “World's Largest Christmas Stocking” is about five-feet long and filled with toys and other treasures. Mrs. Pheagin said that the stocking and clothes have not been delivered yet because SOCIAL BRIEFS Janie Pheagin stands next to the “World’s Largest Christmas Stocking” that she recently won in a drawing at Kings Mountain Pharmacy. the family has been out of town. But as soon as they return, the church plans to deliver an extra special Christmas. Janie, the youngest of four siblings, first heard about the family from someone who works with her sisters. She was excited to win the stocking. But after making the deci- sion to pass it on a warmer feeling crept in. “It feels good,” she said. “I hope they feel good about it seeing how somebody like me would do it and maybe other people will do it too.” Her mother, who works as a seamstress in Grover, and father, Ed Pheagin, a former police chief for the town, are proud of their daughter’s generous decision. Dr. David Dellinger, with Kings Mountain Pharmacy, was also pleased with Janie’s thoughtful actions. “It made us proud to know that what we did was used for such a good purpose,” he said. Although the name of the winner is drawn completely at random, there could be an element of magic around each year’s stocking. “We've been lucky. Every year it seems like it ends up in someone’s hands that truly needed it,” he said. This year, the luck continued as the stock- ing went into the hands of a young lady who found the true reward in passing it on.
