There's nowhere to hang the stockings until tomorrow night :( Anyone in a new build want to tell me where yours go?

& I can't cobble together a stand for them there's that many boxes to move so there's space for some food shopping to come in later

never moving at christmas again

Can't you dangle them off the end of the beds?

Bannister?

Door handle

I put ours on the door handles

Mine are hanging either side of the window.

Bedroom door handle here

Door handle.

Ours go on the ends of beds.

End of beds here - i did see a good thing the other day - "santa's magic key" a friend had it on her outside door - it would stay there about ten minutes down our road, but a nice idea if you don't have a chimney

Bedroom door handle here too

End of beds.

We always had ours draped over the arms of the sofa/chairs but they only appeared on Christmas morning filled with gifts, put there while we slept on Christmas Eve. I think this is what we'll do this year.

End of the bed. As for the key for the door, we leave a key on the hearth for FC and the fairies come in through the keyhole, shrink it, then give it to FC outside - they all work together. At least that is what my DD told me one year.

On the banister. Our DDs used to hang their stockings on the banister just before they went to bed, FC would fill them and leave them for us to put them at the end of the beds, This was because DD2 hated anyone except us coming into her bedroom.

Door handle.

Sofa here too. We don't have empty ones out before - they just turn up filled on Christmas Morning.

Bedroom door handle. I think there is less chance of waking a child up if it is on the outside of the door rather than the end of the bed.

door handles an excellent idea! we usually have them on display so will have to hunt for something to dangle them from properly next year.

We have got a Santa key lurking somewhere in the box of randomness where I think the wrapping paper is...buried in the garage might see if any of the cheap shops have one tomorrow to save me rootling about. Ty for the reminder about that

ours go in the bedroom and we have a santa key too as no chimney!

got ours in the card factory was £1

Ours are left on the hearth. So no creeping into bedrooms to get them.

Welcome to new build no fireplace hell... I didn't think of it until I got the stockings out! We have tied them to the spindles on the staircase using ribbon and they look lovely (although I then bought another tree to stand next to them in the hall!).

I meant to say in my first post, ours are left on ends of beds but our house isn't a new build and we do have a fireplace! But we have pillowcases and my Mum always left them on our beds so I do the same.

Bedroom door handles. My teenagers have had them up for days

Stockings go on the bannister here and are opened on Christmas Eve. Main presents go under the tree and are opened on Christmas Day.

They are draped over the back of the sofa, then are on the sofa filled the next morning.
