I finally have a solution to my no mantel/no stocking holders issue! Yeah, I could just buy some stocking holders and stick them on the fantel, but I never seem to find any I like and it doesn’t seem like very much fun to be out $100 for something that I’m not that excited about.
The best solution is so simple! Isn’t that always the way?
I just tied the stockings up with twine and staggered them on the ladder that was already there in the corner of the living room.
Super easy, super cute, super effective!
Kennedy was somewhat concerned that Santa wouldn’t be able to reach that high. So we had a good conversation about that.
“What? How tall do you think Santa is? Santa’s a man, Kenna. He’s like Daddy-sized.” It was the best. I got to find a good solution to my problem, and look all cool cause I’m tight with Santa and know how tall he is and stuff.
Just in case you were wondering, I’m also super close buddies with the tooth fairy. We talk on the phone and text all the time. Just ask Kennedy.
But somehow I don’t think teeth on a ladder will work quite as well.
