{all fuzzy and warm}
~Every year starting December 1st
it is our family tradition to hang socks
on our stair railing
one for each child~
~I fill them every morning with little treats
until December 25th~
~like an advent calendar
only 100xs better
because the treats are amazing
handpicked by me~
Christmas highlight in our home~
~when my girls came home today and saw the socks
they knew exactly what they
would be used for~
{the only requirement is that they have to be knee high socks}
~the fun part is they get to wear the socks after~
~advent calendar socks....
so much fun~
{the store clerk told me they were going to get pink stripe ones in too... we will need some of those }

Hi Koralee,
What an absolutely lovely tradition.
So much better than an advent calendar and they have the socks to wear after.

Such a cute idea Koralee! We have an old wooden advent calendar house that we use with our daughter every year but I'm limited on the treats due to the size. Love this idea! Where did you find the cute socks?
I love your idea, and re-purposing them as, well, socks is brilliant! Also less to pack away after Christmas. :)
Hope you enjoy your day,
Zuzu

I think this would be a wonderful new tradition. I have only one Peep in the nest but I think she would love this idea. Your socks are adorable- they look comfy.
Pink would be amazing too. Lucky kids they are to have you.
What a lovely Mum you are...these traditions are memories in the making for your children.
My children are grown up, but they still believe in Father Christmas, as I do. He still brings us presents !!!! XXXX
A cool tradition makin' memories for your children, they are blessed to have you.

HOW FUN...wish I'd have done this with my kids..what a great idea! The fun will be thinking up the treats too..so great! :D
What a fun thing to do!
PS: Let me know what you think of the Avon serum!
What a sweet idea! My mums side of the family is German and when i was younger i use to put a shoe in the window (a certain date in December) and in the morning my shoe would be filled with lollies! A German christmas tradition :)

What a nice idea Koralee! Lovely and colourful photos!!!
A nice day for you!

What a unique and fun way to do an advent calendar!!! :> Not to mention, those socks are cute. I can so see padding around in them on a Saturday morning, or wearing them out and about with a cute pair of shoes and cuffed jeans. This is the first time I've heard of something like this and love how unique it is! :>
Wow, this is a great idea!! What fun!
I love this idea...but with boys I'd have to use ugly holey white crew socks...that wouldn't look so cute, huh.
What a really great idea! Those socks look super cozy too, and perfect for winter.
Oh what fun!!!
I love learning about other peoples family traditions!!!
My friend Victoria alway gets a new pair of pyjamas on Christmas Eve from her Mum!
such a great idea, and these look so cozy!
what a wonderful tradition! love this, Koralee!
