“Stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.” Stockings are an important part of many families’ Christmas traditions, and yet they are easy to forget about until the last minute.

Today’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to go through your stash (and you know you have one) of trinkets and goodies. Inventory what you have and consider what might be good to keep your eye out for to add to your collection. Keep in mind the size of your stockings and do not go overboard. Santa’s policy: Less is more!
Visit the 100 Days to Christmas Facebook page and tell us what Santa puts in stockings at your house!

I love the Candy Cane Lane
I like the o christmas tree pattern. What a good idea!
So many choices but I think the classic Two Turtle Doves is my favorite. It has an Old World feel in the design.
