Holiday traditions are super important to me and my family. I remember how excited I was about Christmas when I was a little girl, and I want to make sure my daughter has the same fond memories. The most important of our holiday rituals is putting up the Christmas tree and ornaments, with stockings following closely behind.
Just about this time ten years ago, I was pregnant with my one and only child. My husband and I were living in Tallahassee, away from our family, and wanted to make the occasion special, even though we weren't near loved ones . We commemorated the season by making special stockings with our names, including one with "Baby" written on it. At the time we didn't know we were having a girl, but the tradition of having personalized stockings was born.
Of course, I still have those stockings, but we have since upgraded to new ones thanks to Personal Creations.
When I saw these Knit Argyle/Snowflake stocking on PersonalCreations.com, I knew they would be perfect for us. The pattern looks old-fashioned and Nordic, a look I really like— and each is roomy enough to fit a ton of stocking stuffers. Plus, I couldn't resist those adorable puff balls! The personalization came out exactly how I envisioned and I think they look great next to our kitties new stockings.
This is the first year that we've had pet stockings and I can't tell you how much I adore them. Coco and Rocky, our cats, now have their own "Fish" Stockings, which will soon be filled with cat toys and treats. Our cats are like children to us, so there's no reason they shouldn't get goodies for Christmas!
Back to the most important element of Christmas— the Christmas tree! I mentioned last week how much I love to collect Christmas ornaments, especially when I travel. It brings me great joy to decorate the tree every year with my family, and ornaments are like little time capsules of memories. In addition to picking up ornaments when we travel, I also like to purchase a new ornament for everyone to commemorate the year. This usually includes the date, however when I saw these Elegant Glass Birthstone Ornaments I fell in love. Each ornament is personalized with our name with the corresponding month we were born. I'm actually thinking about writing the date myself with a gold felt pen to complete the look.... so classy!!
To display these beautiful glass ornaments I chose the elegant Christmas Tree Ornament Stand.
I really love all of the personalized items that we ordered from Personal Creations. The quality of the stockings is fabulous for the price and the ornaments couldn't be more beautiful. Stay tuned for another post with some great personalized gift ideas!
