I finally pulled out all the holiday decor to put around the house. After moving the entire living room around to make a place for my stockings, I put everything right back to where it was. I even tried to change out tables and lamps to make way for the usual place that I hang my stockings...

This year we got the new (well new to me) wing back chair which sits up higher along the ledge I usually hang them on. I also used to have a lower sitting table which I think made this ledge ideal...
Well, not this year.
Here's how they ended up. I'm not completely satisfied but what are you going to do? I thought about hanging them from the stair banister which I've always loved at other houses, but I felt I needed garland to put all the way up and I didn't have any extra. I will continue to look.
I choose to only use my two folksy stockings from Garnet Hill this year. My two knit stockings are on the end, but I think I might take them down altogether.
What do you think?
Above is a picture of my mom's mantle this year... Yes, that is a deer head and No, it's not staying there... at least I hope it's not still up when we get home. It was a joke for my dad. Although, knowing him, he probably loved it and it probably is still up. I think he's cute with the elf hat. :)
