were hung by
the chimney with care.
Well, not really.
I don't have a fireplace
and therefore no mantle.
So my stockings hang here instead.
I have a confession here.
I found this little hook board
by dumpster diving years ago.
It remains one of my favorite possessions ever!
Anyway, the one stocking with Cupid's
stocking (yes, Santa fills the pet stockings too)
is an original from the 50's. It's been in the family
all of this time. I just love it. Santa doesn't fill it
anymore but all of you sure do!
It's a great day to say thank YOU to all of my loyal
followers and commenter's. YOU brighten my days so much
and I appreciate the time you spend with me.
To all of my new followers,
thank YOU so much for joining my blog.
I look forward to getting to know YOU.
To all of the bloggers that I follow,
thank YOU for sharing a part
of yourself with me.
You teach me so much!
So you see,
I don't really need Santa to fill up that old stocking.
YOU all do it so beautifully!
Thank YOU!
I hope they are all bursting with goodies on Christmas morning!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Gifts do not have to come in the mail or be purchased. A simple comment is sufficient enough. Thank you as well for all the comments you leave on my blog daily. Very appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to knowing you better as well. I have not gotten tot he post office yet. I should be able to get there this morning if not tomorrow. I have not forgotten you.
TFS.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post Jill. Blogging can add so much to each day.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I met you this past year. Love your talented blog.
ReplyDeleteyou are one of the kindest soul's in my wonderful world. xo
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love all my followers and commenters also! We don't have a fireplace or mantle either so our stockings get hung in the doorway near the tree. It works for us. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Jill,
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessed thing to read! Thank you so much and thank you for being such a beautiful friend and sharing with us! Every day you post, you brighten my day.
I have a 50's stocking like yours which was my original when I was 1 year old! Precious memories!
Your stocking will be running over long before Christmas morning!
Blessings,
Donna
I love it that you got the hook board for free! Super!!
ReplyDeleteI really believe it's way more fun to give at Christmas than to receive. I think you do too. :))
Thank YOU, sweet lady, for being my blog friend. :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! I've added pet stockings as my young'ns moved away. Pets don't know the difference, but ma an pa do. Thank you to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat find Jill. Sometimes you can find the best stuff like that. We don't have a fireplace or mantle either, so that's a great idea to hang stockings on. : ).. Looks great!
