Welcome to Day 5 of my 12 Days of Christmas posts. Today I’m sharing the Christmas stockings for the kids. Christmas stockings weren’t big in my house when I was growing up. As a matter of fact, I’ve never had one and I never purchased one for my daughter. My how things change when grandchildren enter the world.
I decided to purchase one for my grandson when he was born. The first picture shows the first stocking that I purchased for him on the left and a stocking that Xavier made. Isn’t it adorable.
My daughter decided to try her hand at making his stocking the second year, the stocking in the middle. I thought it turned out great, she’s not the craftiest person so it was a major endeavor for her. We used that for several years, it was special. I picked up the third stocking at a craft fair when he was four.
When Zarriah was born, we decided to purchase these adorable stockings in the bottom picture and have their names embroidered on them. I love how they turned out, so they have become their permanent stockings.
The best part about stockings is searching for the little stocking stuffers. My favorite place for stocking stuffers are the bargain bins. Check out my list of ideas for toddler boy’s stocking stuffers. Do you use stockings for your children or grandchildren?
