Stocking question

[teatimefor2]

For you and your DH, did you use your first names or mom/mommy and dad/daddy? Thanks!

[auntie]

Our identities, and our stockings, existed before having a child, so DH's has his name on his. Mine is made from scraps left over from my wedding dress, so it's pretty obvious to whom it belongs.

Names. We had them before kids but I prefer names anyway

Names.

I ordered mine after DD was born and got mum and dad on them.

We have plain stockings right now, once we are confident that we are done having children we will get matching stockings for the family. They will have my name, and DH's name on them.

Mine has my name on it. I still use the one my Nana made me when I was a kid.
Dh doesn't have a stocking, he has a "Santa sack" with no name.

We also have stockings from before having DD, so names.

Mine was made by my great grandmother, and has my first and middle names on it. She made them for everyone in the family, and my aunt is continuing the tradition so that H and J have ones with their name as well.

[biogirl21]

Ours have our first initial on them. I got them when we moved in together years ago. We'll get nice matching ones when we are done having kids. I will most likely put our names on them.

Once the last baby is born and our family is complete, we're going to buy 4 matching stockings with names. Right now we're using a hodgepodge of extra stockings my parents have and ones from my step-MIL (shudder). I am excited to pick out ones of our own!

Names

[meltoine]

Names. DH's is his from childhood. MIL made new ones for the rest of us.

[djc315]

We used our names.

Guess I'm in the minority but ours say mom and dad. We bought new ones after we had J.

[hermione]

Mom and Dad. I couldn't decide so I let H pick.

[carolinagirl831]

We use our names, besides the fact that we already had stocking with our names, our families often do stockings and it's hard to know whose is whose if there are several Mommy and Daddys

[laurenh]

Ours say Mom and Dad - we ordered after having DD.

I've been debating this as well. We bought stockings for us and the dog a couple of years ago, but the etsy seller I used is able to make a matching one for the baby. She's actually working on it right now even though we don't need it until next year. Anyway, her shop has these little tags that you can attach to the stockings, which I will get after we know for sure what the baby's name will be. I was trying to decide whether to go with mom/dad or our first names. I think I am leaning toward first names. Sort of because I have a weird thing about wanting to keep my identity even after I become a mom.

Mom and Dad

Special snowflake - we don't have names on any of our stockings. They are homemade (by my mom) and are all quite different with fabrics and trim, so it's not hard to tell them apart; also growing up my family never had stockings with names on them, so that's just the norm for us.

[redheadbaker]

Ours aren't personalized; mine is red, S.O.'s is green, and DS' is cream-colored.

We all have hand knitted stockings, mine is from childhood and DH's was added when we got married, so they have our names.

Exactly. DD's is on order to match.
