stocking advent calendar

Last year I had a hard time finding the right advent calendar, so I made a clothesline of stockings. There are many variations on this, I have seen paper bags, paper cones, and small boxes. I selected socks including adult sized, holiday-themed and ones that will fit my son throughout the new year.

Supplies
24 socks
24 treats, toys, candy, coins
24 numbered labels (optional)
removable adhesive utility hooks
decorative wire or ribbon
clothes pins
decorations (optional)

The rest is simple, hang the wire, fill the socks, and enjoy the countdown.
