Countdown to Christmas - Photo Challenge - Day 20:STOCKING

Mom's vintage Christmas stocking was adorned with jingle bells, and unlike today's socks, the personalization was upside down...

It is actually more in the shape of a sock as well with a narrow ankle and foot part of the sock.  Not sure what Santa would've been able to stuff down into the toe except for maybe nuts...or coal?

 The terrycloth top is dingy and yellowed, but it will forever be a reminder of mom's love of bringing Santa to life every Christmas.

    That is odd! Did they drape them over something instead of hanging them? That would make more sense for the "upside down" name. My mom has her old stocking from when she was a child, and it's a little puppy dog.

    Interesting question about draping the stocking... I will have to ask my mom's sister and see if she recalls. Although, there is a little fabric loop for hanging which would then make the name upside down. Hmmm...tis a puzzler. I don't think I have ever seen a puppy stocking...how cute!
