The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

With hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there...

I love that Christmas poem, The Night Before Christmas,  by Clement C. Moore!

I FINALLY have stockings for the dogs.  Yes, Newton is 10 and has never had a stocking.  Santa usually just drops a few things for him around the fireplace.  Last year, Bella found a stocking and taped a piece of paper to a stocking.  On the paper she wrote: Newton.  This year, since we have Pippen, Bella insists that he have a stocking too. 

I have LOTS of extra stockings laying around.  Well, not laying around.  Packed in with the Christmas decorations.  Bella picked out two.  I wrote the names in glue and then sprinkled them with GLITTER!  (I love glitter!)  I let it sit overnight, shook off the extra glitter and

there you have it.  Personalized stockings for the dogs.

Now we wait patiently for Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas) to arrive!
