hung by the chimney with care
December 18, 2006
Conversation as I upacked the stockings:
“What are those BIG socks, Mommy?” asked by my 3yr old daughter.
“These are our Christmas stockings.” I answered.
“Oh, Nooooooo. I don’t want to wear those on Christmas.”
Here I thought we’d all go nude except for the one one big sock and perhaps a few strategically placed ornaments. My plans foiled again.

I bet that your husband would like that for a Christmas present. I agree with your daughter though, stockings as a fashion statement are a no-no. (She cracks me up!)
December 18th, 2006 at 11:11 am…now that would certainly make an interesting christmas picture, wouldn’t it?
December 18th, 2006 at 11:14 amWow, what a beautiful picture!! And what a funny little girl you have!
December 18th, 2006 at 11:15 amMerry Christmas!
Your mantle looks beautiful I am disappointed not to see the Lego Yoda though!
December 18th, 2006 at 11:15 amWow, you have a beautiful chimney! Seven one socked children decorated in garland is a funny sight to imagine.
December 18th, 2006 at 11:39 amHey where are your and Rob’s stockings?!?!? Course mine never gets filled in the first place so… *shrugs*
December 18th, 2006 at 12:54 pmI love that mantel and the fireplace with the stockings. What a festive scene!
December 18th, 2006 at 2:09 pmWhat a gorgeous fireplace you have. Hopefully that will get you in the Christmas spirit.
December 18th, 2006 at 2:18 pmThe kid is absolutely right. Who would wear such boxy, awkward hose?
In other news, you out-Martha Martha in the festive decor of your mantle.
December 18th, 2006 at 2:19 pmSo… how come you were blessed with such awesome decorating genes and the rest of us weren’t? LOL.
I love the things you are doing to your home. You are doing a great job. You just have that knack.
December 18th, 2006 at 3:52 pmare you sure we cant come live with you?
Were lucky we have a tree. poorly decorated at that. they just dont make plastic ornaments anymore
plus dh cut the tree down from our front yard. yup its a small hella prickly tree. its huge tho,. but you cant touch it. its like razors and I aint even kidding!!

December 18th, 2006 at 4:41 pmI’d have to wear the tree! Yikes! Can you say itchy???

December 19th, 2006 at 10:01 amIs that a real photo of your real fireplace? Holy cow! I mean, I’ve seen pictures in magazines, but I didn’t know it was actually possible to recreate it in the real world. Amazing.
December 19th, 2006 at 11:56 amgorgeous decorations!
and my daughter wants to know why the grown ups don’t get stockings at your house? maybe then you could get mini-liquor bottles from Santa!
