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!
this idea thats so incredible i love it i realy like to have a pretty stocking holder for my pug, your idea it’s excelent
Who gets the lump of coal? Benny, Henry or Luna?
I’ve never seen picture frame stocking holders. Guess i need to go shopping for the pugs, the horse, the parakeets oh yeah and my daughter and husband! Yes, I live in a zoo and my pug, Jetta, is mezmerized by the birds. One flew out of the cage last night for the first time and she didn’t know what to do with herself. Everone is well, no harm done, except Jetta just sits under the cage looking up at it for what it seems like hours!
Peace, Love & Pugs
How cute!! When we lived in Texas & New Mexico-the entertainment center was the place of choice for stocking hanging! We have a fireplace-but no mantel! Hope we get it right someday!!! Pug-Hugs from the Colorado 3
