A Monogrammed Christmas Stocking Guide

Creating a personal atmosphere during the holiday season is easier than you may think. Sometimes the smallest detail can make all of the difference. A monogrammed Christmas stocking that can be representative of your family name may be all that it takes to make your home a one of a kind holiday environment.

You can choose any kind of style for your family monogrammed Christmas stocking. I recommend using the colors that are already strong in your home for this particular decorative piece. You can find or make a monogrammed Christmas stocking in any color or pattern imaginable. (Read out Bucilla Christmas Stocking Article.)

My family is Scottish and my mother decided that a traditional plaid pattern would be perfect for our monogrammed Christmas stocking. The colors include red and green so it fits very well with the holiday theme. There is simply one letter that represents our family name on the stocking.

She was considering including our clan name as well. Scottish families belong to a sir name lineage as well as a neighborhood lineage. The clan would be a collection of families who survived and grew together in Scotland. She decided to simply choose M for Morton, which means “of the mountain.”

Since making the monogrammed Christmas stocking, I had a feeling that she regretted not including the Campbell clan as well. I figured that we could have two items to represent our family so I am designing a special monogrammed Christmas stocking as a gift this year.

I am sticking with the traditional plaid pattern but I am using the letters MC for the design. If I can find our family crest, I may include this in the monogrammed Christmas stocking as well. This will make a wonderful present for my parents this year.

The monogrammed Christmas stocking does not have to have that much depth. You can use just about any name or initial to make your own. I have a friend who has wonderful navy blue curtains and rugs in her traditional home. She chose a navy blue stocking with a white fur liner for her monogrammed stocking.

The great thing about these items is that they are so very versatile. You can use any letter or any name that you want. If you choose to create your own you have endless possibilities when it comes to color and pattern.

The monogrammed Christmas stocking is wonderful for brining a little personality to your holiday décor. You can choose to have your initials put on pre-made stockings or you can make your very own.
