Christmas Stockings in Indoor Christmas Decor

What should we leave for Santa when I hang out my kids' stockings?

Santa is always grateful for a snack or a drink when delivering presents. He is partial to cookies and milk, and he loves mince pies. Don’t forget a carrot for his reindeer. Creating holiday traditions like this for your children helps form tight family bonds and wholesome memories.

What are some ideas for stocking stuffers?

Stocking stuffers need to be small and are generally low-value items ranging from $5-$15. Great ideas include chocolate and candy, small toys, books and stationery, and useful items such as socks and shower gels. If you want to be traditional, think about an orange and some nuts.

How big should a Christmas stocking be?

Traditionally, people hung up actual stockings for Santa to fill, but these days, novelty stockings are used, or bigger decorative stockings designed especially for the Christmas period. They tend to be between 15 and 30 inches long. Choose a stocking that will hold the amount and type of gifts you want to put in it.
