15 Personalized Christmas Stocking Ideas for Buying, Making, and Pets
I’ve already started making lists for gifts and collecting ideas for stocking stuffers. Do you need new personalized Christmas stockings to hang this year, too? After years of hanging the same old stockings from the mantel, I decided it was time to wave goodbye to them and get new ones. Sound familiar? Are you ready to replace your old holiday stockings with new, updated ones?
We plan on decorating for Christmas soon. Typically, right after Thanksgiving, but I am a little off schedule. I have just been taking things out and setting up for my seasonal decor changes. When do you decorate for Christmas? We love updating our Christmas decorations and don’t seem to do it often enough! I can’t wait to share the touches we add to our home, but for now, let’s dive into all the best options for stockings this season. You can see some of the things I’ve gotten and done on my LTK profile.

The Legend of the Christmas Stocking
Do you enjoy holiday traditions like hanging stockings on the fireplace? We sure do! There is so much history behind this holiday tradition.
“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.” A visit from Santa Claus is the highlight for most families, but the custom of hanging a stocking goes back centuries…
The origin of the Christmas stocking is thought to have started when St. Nicolas threw bags of gold coins down a chimney to the less fortunate, and we found stockings hanging to dry by the fire.
