I don’t remember when it was that I realized that we had not packed any of our Christmas things when we moved over here. We had a few things that I had used when I lived in my various apartments, but our “family” ornaments and our stockings were packed in boxes in my parents’ old basement. I was more than a little sad about this.
If you know me well, you know that I am a “fixer.” Yes, I do still like to complain about my situations, but when someone comes up with a solution for me, I usually am saying, “Oh, I already have a plan.” And I did. I figured I had plenty of time to crochet stockings for Andrew and I. They turned out GREAT! I’m so happy with them!
I also found stocking hangers at a decent price at TKMaxx — woohoo! And I already had a framed picture of my nephew in a Santa suit from last Christmas. We just added some candles, branches, and pinecones, and the mantle was complete!
