DDo you have a favorite set of Christmas stockings? I’m thinking about replacing ours — we’ve used the same stockings since our early years as a family of four, and one family member never had a matching one. With our daughter married and a move to a new state ahead, new stockings for our new home feel like the perfect refresh.

Even if we don’t have a traditional mantel in the new place, stockings still add charm hung in many spots around the house. They can be arranged on a piano, draped from a ladder, tied to stair railings, or even attached along a bed frame. The photos above show a variety of styles and display ideas to spark your imagination.
