With eyes shining brightly, the six of us kids would dash into the family room on Christmas morning. We’d squeal with delight as we spotted our personalized stockings, for they were filled with treasures from Santa!

The stockings had our names on them, and were embellished with handmade miniature ornaments and candies. The letters on mine were the smallest of all six of us, since I had the longest name — Elizabeth.

I could smell the Christmas turkey in the oven as I reached into my stocking to pull out my gifts, and one by one I marveled at them all. When I reached the toe, I knew I would find the juiciest, sweetest orange I could ever imagine, and I’d race to the kitchen to eat it as my special Christmas morning treat.

Personal Creations personalized Christmas stockings

Nothing will ever replace the cherished memories of my special childhood stocking, but I desperately wanted to order new stockings that would mimic the feeling and style of the one I hold so dear.

I spotted a selection of “Winter Wonderland” stockings at Personal Creations, and when I instantly got the warm fuzzies, I knew they were meant to be mine.

They’re super soft and squishy, have dimension and texture, and they ooze warmth and comfort. I adore them.

Personal Creations Winter Wonderland Stockings

As you can tell, I’m sentimental, but I also have a fondness for whimsy. I personalized these jingle bell mini stocking gift card holders for my kids. The designs make me think of mischievous elves, and I love that!

Personal Creations Jingle Bell mini stocking gift card holder

I have hundreds of ornaments, and my Christmas tree needs the entire year off just to prepare itself for the number of decorations I insist it hold for the entire month of December.

However, in the last few years, I’ve really tried to be more selective in the ornaments I buy. But when I saw “The Christmas Key,”  it was destiny. It just had to be my 2013 ornament.  In fact, I liked it so much that I ordered one for my mom as well.

Personal Creations - Christmas Key ornament

It comes with a little message to Santa that talks about the key to Christmas being Jesus, and it makes me smile that this ornament brings the two sides of Christmas together. Love.

I hope you enjoyed sharing my Christmas memories with me, and perhaps you’ll find some personalized holiday magic yourself at Personal Creations. It’s certainly worth a look.

    I love your stockings and that key ornament is so amazing. My daughter would love that! I’m definitely going to check out Personal Creations. When my 2 sisters and I were little my mom decorated our stocking and wrote our names on it with glitter. We couldn’t wait to see what Santa put in our stockings. We did our stockings before we even opened presents or looked under the tree. I have so many wonderful memories from Christmas when I was a kid. My mom raised us by herself, and she always makes everything so special. My parents divorced when I was 10. My dad would take us to my grandparents where we got another big Christmas. Thank you Liz for this post. It makes me smile and get teary eyed thinking about all the fun Christmases I had when I little. We still have fun every single Christmas. We go to my mom’s house for the whole day. We had to make my mom stop filling our stockings a few years ago. She was doing us 3 girls plus my brother-in-law,my daughter and my 2 nieces. It was costing her a lot to fill that many so now she does her 3 granddaughters. Next year we will have a new addition to the family. My daughter is expecting, and our Chloe is due in May. I’m so excited it’s not even funny,Lol! Now I need to get back to the giveaway 🙂

I remember thinking it was the most beautiful thing! So many memories!

    BTW, I like your name so much that I named my firstborn after you. Well, actually, I didn’t know you at the time, but she does have the same name.

    Ever since my husband and I got married 23 years ago, we always buy or make an ornament every year. Some years we have themes others we just pick whatever. Every year when we decorate the tree, we always remember when we got each ornament and who picked it out. Last year, we all agreed to buy a package of snowflakes for the tree. This year, we are going to each pick our own. It is such a fun tradition!

    I love love love that Key Ornament – must get one! Our daughter has a stocking that was knitted for her when she was young with her name and the year of her birth. It’s seen a lot better days and really is not my style of décor at all – but it’s pretty sentimental so we still hang it up each year. 🙂

    My family had a number of siblings and 18 grandchildren. We quickly adopted drawing a name amongst the adults to reduce the expense. One of the inlaws families also brought the gifting under control by exchanging a single ornament each year. There was great expectation and appreciation for the unique ornaments that were exchanged. My family never adopted that, but it certainly worked out well.
    I try to switch out and use different ornaments from my collection. The tree just won’t hold all of them.

    Our whole family have the same stockings, each with our names on them. Started 64 years ago, when my aunt made one for me, and then one for each sibling in my family. When we married, my Mum made matching ones for our spouses and then for each of our kids. Now that we are having grandchildren, my sister makes new ones every year for the new members of the extended family. It is one of our most cherished Christmas traditions–family. I think it’s wonderful that you have found nice replacements for what your remember from your childhood.
