*stockings are hung by the....*

{wait...where is the chimney? well in this household..there is no chimney...no fireplace...no mantel. the shelf in the kitchen has become our make shift mantel. does the job right? you might notice there are three stockings hanging...we got Oliver's stocking in the mail on Friday. i actually squealed with joy when i opened the box. it's adorable and so colorful. i love how it coordinates with mine and b's striped socks. i don't think we will be stuffing it full of goodies this year...we might wait until next year to do that when Oliver is home. for now, it's nice to see a stocking that will one day become apart of so many Christmas memories.}

What a groovy stocking! You can buy a "magic key" to give to santa which lets him into your house if you don't have a fireplace ;)

I LOVE Oliver's stocking! Where did you get it? I agree with Ben - maybe a few things in his stocking this year!

I'm sure Santa will leave something special in Oliver's stocking-it is very festive and colorful.
