Random question about hanging Christmas Stockings..

Does anybody with an open fireplace or wood burner actually hang their stockings over it? I have a lovely old fireplace but never actually hang the stockings there because we use the fire most nights, and it would surely be a fire hazard. But I see so many roaring fireplaces on festive TV shows with stockings hanging around them - not to mention all the swags and foliage draped over the mantels... it makes me a bit sad that mine doesn't look like that, but I don't see how I can have a poncetastic fireplace without risking burning the house down - any suggestions?

Just don't have the fire going. How is santa going to get down the chimney if you've lit a fire?!

Ha ha good point. But Santa might not be able to afford to bring any presents at all if we have to turn up the gas heating rather than burning logs 😳. And without wanting to sound like a petulant child, I want a festive fireplace 'and' a cracking fire 😁
