Stockings - Now or Later??

Well, I'm going to be different :giggle Our decorations go up mid December, but the stockings only get put out on Christmas Eve when the kids go to bed. Then Father Christmas fills them in the night and the kids usually spend the next couple of days carrying their new treasures round in their stockings!
 
Here the socks are for decorations for christmas but the "real ones" we put it on january 5th the night before Epiphany!
 
yep, ours are hung already too. On Christmas eve they will be filled (mostly with items from the dollar store) LOL
 
We usually put them up with the decorations. But this year they are hiding until the end because I'm sure my little Rosie would love to pull them down (with the heavy hooks).
 
I put them up on the mantle, but because the mantle is in the basement (where no one goes but me), they are not really considered decorations and I can fill them up as I'm wrapping presents. However, they get brought up the night before Christmas and put on the table (not on the chair because of the dogs) and my mom adds things on Christmas morning (otherwise I would get nothing) just before we open them.
