There was a time where the traditional white and red stocking was your only option, but these days you can get a number of different types of Christmas stockings. Those out there with children can get stockings that have their kid’s favorite cartoon characters on them. You can even get the big kid in the family a stocking that has their favorite football team logo on it. It is also common to have your names stitched into your stocking to personalize them.

2. LED Christmas string lights
LED Christmas string lights have earned their popularity among many who are energy usage conscious. They are durable and long-lasting. They’re also low maintenance.
