Christmas Stockings
Do you hang them up? Where did you find yours? Are they just the generic red stockings with your names on them?
We have never hung any up, but I'm going to this year. I want them to be something that fits our personality. I just ordered H one that fits him perfectly, but I am having a hard time finding one for me. I really want one from Gussy - but I've been trying to find one that's a little cheaper (I have a hard time justifying a $30 stocking). But, unless I find something soon, my want-to is going to override my money-smarts.

Re: Christmas Stockings
I have four needlepoint type stockings I got at the dollar store. They are really nice looking for the $1 each I paid for them. They have different designs on each (snowman, santa, etc.). I fill one each for my parents, one for FIL and one for DSS because they're usually there for Christmas morning.
I bought two stocking hangers this year that I'm going to use to hang them on my TV table in front of the two glass doors. I thought 4 would be a little too much on the TV table, and I don't have a fireplace.
You should get an OSU stocking.
We hang up the red stocking with our names on them. Mine was made by a friend years ago, and I found DH's on post-Christmas clearance at Target.
Do you know anyone who can make you a similar stocking for cheaper? Maybe a custom order on Etsy? Or you could buy a cheap one for this year, then look at the clearance sales after Christmas for a nicer one.
we have stockings, but I don't even remember what they look like! I am going to look for new ones this year after Christmas so that we can have 5 that match for next year.
I think I got the ones we have at Target and Lowe's maybe (I think H's, V's, and mine match but M's is different since I had three last year and just got one for her)
A couple of years ago, when my little brother was still in elementary, they had that Santa's Secret Shop thing or whatever. He bought me two OSU snowman stockings (one for me and one for H) and that was my gift from him. He was so proud of himself - it was cute. And, I really do like them, but (it's hard to explain) the way they are made makes them extremely difficult to fill. I still hang them up, but they aren't extremely usable.
H has the traditional stocking and I have a plaid trimmed red stocking. We plan on hanging them up but their mostly for looks. We haven't put anything in them for the last couple of years.
ETA: We got our stockings at Wal-Mart and they do not have our names on them.
