Hung by the chimney with care.

I am this close to putting up some Christmas decorations. I used to have an absolute rule that I did not put anything out until the day after Thanksgiving. But that leaves only one month to enjoy the Christmas decorations, and that is just not long enough.

For as many Christmas decorations as I have, I do not have stockings! Not that I haven't been looking. I am just so picky about the shape.

 Cable Knit Stocking with Pom | Target

The price is definitely right on these ($10!), but I wish they were longer.

 

 Fiona Green Multi Stocking | Crate and Barrel

This one is really fun (it reminds me of my pillow crush), but the swampy green color isn't for me.

 

Hable Elegant Eyelet Stocking | Garnet Hill

Aaah, neutral, that's better. So cute. Too cute?

Suzanne Kasler Burlap Stocking | Ballard Design

I almost love this one, but the shape is so wonky! But it wouldn't be hard to DIY something similar and fix that issue.

And I saved the best for last...

Shell & Raffia Christmas Stockings | Horchow

Perfect. 

The price is steep, at $175 each... but you can see you're paying for quality. 

They're 30% off right now, if that helps anyone. Or maybe we can hit the after-Christmas sale.
