Makeshift
The stockings were hung from the entertainment center with care…
We don’t have a fireplace, so each year we carefully hang the stockings from the entertainment center. When we built the house, we still had northern blood and we thought including a fireplace in the house was just the funniest thing. Why on earth would people in Florida need a fireplace, we laughed. Now that we have acclimated a bit, and anything under 70 degrees seems pretty chilly, there have been nights when we have thought that fireplace might come in handy.
In any case, the entertainment center has served us well and proudly displays everyone’s stockings. Leading up to Christmas, we tuck any little presents that we pick up into the stockings. However, treats do not go into the stockings until Christmas morning. We wouldn’t want Baby Benny to get a crick in his neck from staring up at the stockings willing the treats to come to him.

I love the idea of having each pet’s picture as the stocking holder. I had never thought of that, and I think it’s a GREAT idea! Very cute!
