Santa will know where to put them when he fills them (or you guys will if Santa doesn't do it)! I don't think you have to hang them on the same floor as the bedrooms just because that's where you want them to be in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-place-christmas-stockings#post-1939651 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:40:11 +0000 HabesBabe 1939651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: i wish i could do that! we have a stone fireplace, straight from the 70s, and i don't think the strips/hooks would stick to the uneven stone. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-place-christmas-stockings#post-1939649 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:38:58 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1939649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: that's basically where I got the idea of hanging them on our bedroom door because I want them on our future LOs foor. We always opened stockings last, but I'd love it to be a first-thing in the morning thing for my LOs. Add a note and give them time to reflect on things when they first wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-place-christmas-stockings#post-1939600 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:17:16 +0000 NCSUchick27 1939600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hang ours off of the counter in between the kitchen and dining room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-place-christmas-stockings#post-1939585 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:10:21 +0000 snowjewelz 1939585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a fireplace either so we don't have stockings!

When I fill them I take them down and lay them in front of the Christmas Tree with their Santa gifts.
