These 19 inch Baby Stockings are made of very soft, plush Fleece. The creamy white cuff has plenty of room for personalization. The body of the Fleece Baby Stocking is soft pink and so is the hanging loop. The center of the Fleece Stocking has a Snow lady dressed in a pink hat with gold band decorated with a spring of holly and a dollop of snow on top of her hat. She has a pink scarf, purple vest and pink mittens and is holding some nicely wrapped gifts. Above the Snow lady the words “Baby’s First Christmas” are embroidered in red letters.

What are Christmas Stockings?
Christmas stockings originated in Germany, and involve hanging an empty sock or sock shaped bag on Christmas Eve for Santa to fill with special small gifts. These small items are often referred to as stocking stuffers. In some cases the contents of the stocking might be the only gifts a child will receive for Christmas. Stockings are hung at the foot of the child’s bed, on the fireplace mantle or sometimes lined around the base of the Christmas tree. Select this link to view our Christmas Stocking Holders.
The types of gifts usually placed in the stocking include, a piece of favorite food, fruit or treat, small toys or doll, bubble bath or cologne, crayons, coloring books. Select this link to view our Christmas Tree Skirt.
Originally, children used one of their everyday socks, but today stores carry a tremendous variety of styles and sizes of Christmas stockings, from small and conservative, to long and stretchy, to gigantic. Select this link to view our Elf and Pixie Costumes.
Many families create their own Christmas stockings with each family member's name applied so that Santa will not be confused about which stocking belongs to which family member. Select this link to view our Santa Claus Hats.
The Christmas Rose.
Christmas Rose is an English plant that is regarded as a true Christmas flower. It is sometimes called the Snow or Winter Rose. It blooms in the depths of winter in the mountains of Central Europe. Legend links it with the birth of Christ and a modest shepherd maiden named Madelon. As Madelon tended her sheep one cold and wintry night, wise men and other shepherds passed by the snow-covered field, where she was, with their gifts for the Christ Child. The wise men carried the rich gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense and the shepherds, fruits, honey and doves. Poor Madelon began to weep at the thought of having nothing to offer, not even a simple flower for the Newborn King, as she was very poor indeed. And as she stood there weeping, an angel saw her sorrow, and brushed aside the snow at her feet to reveal a most beautiful white flower tipped with pink, the Christmas rose.
