So, I came down stairs to this scene the other night…

My son told me these are Christmas stockings for Santa (they kind of looked like dirty socks from the washing basket to me)!
So I could have either fought him over the display of ‘stockings’ for the next couple of weeks or do this…

He was so happy when he came down to see them- he kept saying over and over again, ‘these stockings are so beautiful!’ The rest of the decorations will not go up for another few weeks but it’s the little things in life that make you happy, right? And for this 7 year old, the little things are stockings hanging on the fireplace.
