When to put stockings up

[Zazzabeans]

So, I'm thinking about putting tree next week, have never hung stockings on fire, normally just get them out Xmas eve and fill them.
However dds think I should hang them on the fireplace next week as their friends all do.
Is this the norm ?

I like to hang them up with the rest of the decs...no fireplace though so am wondering where this year

We just put them on beds on Christmas Eve, we use our fireplaces so can't have anything hanging from them.

Definitely Christmas Eve, unless you have the sort of fireplace that looks right with them and they won't get in the way for a month.

We do them Christmas eve.

Our DC hang them off the end of their beds on Christmas Eve. Why did I do that? I've always had to wait for them to go to sleep, then sneak in. DD1 is 15, and goes to sleep after us, now. How will I fill her stocking? Gaaah!

Christmas Eve here too.

Christmas eve, though the DC, who are old enough to know better, want them out once the tree is up (and I am a horrible parent and that doesn't happen till the weekend before Christmas).

Christmas Eve definitely. They aren't a decoration.

I have seen lots of people putting them up with their trees, but im not so sure

Christmas Eve, at the end of the bed. Have never heard of stockings going up any other time!

Christmas Eve. We have them by the chimney.

Christmas Eve, on end of the bed.

Christmas Eve on the ends if beds. We use our fireplaces anyway so wouldn't hang them there.

I hang them on the fireplace, empty until they go to bed on Christmas Eve. (When they are then too heavy to hang so I just place them on the hearth.

It looks fab

We sit them under the tree when it goes up then they are hung on the end of each bed on Christmas eve.

Christmas eve.

And I have 2 of each stocking so I can fill one in my room then do a swap to make it quiet and faster!

On the end of the bed on Christmas Eve before they go to sleep.

7pm on the 24th of December. At the earliest.

About a week or so before Christmas as we like seeing them hanging up.

QofE - you cunning creature! Love that idea. Sadly our socks are a mixture of rather eccentric odd sock shooting stockings etc. so to find the other half would be a challenge.

Ours are grandad's old wooly thigh high fishermans socks and grandad was very particular about such things so we have both of each pair. I can't take credit for the idea, it was one I read on MN years ago when my oldest was small. But it is genius.

QoFE, we do the 2 stocking thing too!

OP, definitely Christmas eve

Ours are pretty, and go on our lounge door, or on the bannisters and then upstairs on Christmas eve.

I creep in and pinch stocking, then fill it in our bedroom and then return it.

Christmas eve for stockings here.
