What do your Christmas stockings look like??
When I was a kid, we always had the same stocking year after year. It was red velvet with a white fur cuff that my mom lovingly hand stitched our names and a holly leaf on. I loved my stocking as a kid and always looked forward to getting it out of the Christmas decoration box and hang it up.
As an adult, I have changed Christmas stockings every 2-3 years depending on my "theme" (red & green country christmas we had plaid stockings, my latest wintery/snow theme we have had white stockings with silver snowflakes). And this year, I'm really loving the burlap stockings I've been seeing on pinterest and in magazines. But, then I think to myself, here I go trying to change stockings AGAIN. I sort of wish my kids had the same warm fuzzy feeling about their own personal stocking that I enjoyed as a child. And am feeling somewhat disappointed in myself for not making THEIR stocking special. So, now I'm thinking about just buying one last Christmas stocking for them that will be theirs from now on, every year. Ugh... what to do, what to do!?
As I've been searching online for new stockings, I've noticed how many different ones are out there... baby's first Christmas, kid's charachter ones, wool knitted ones, satin shiny bedazzled ones, bright neon pink with lime green boa feathers... the choices are endless. Which leads me back to my original question... What do your Christmas stockings look like??
(And if you're still reading this, you have extreme patience for blabber and I really admire that about you! LOL)
