This coming Christmas I will have a baby that is about a month old and am looking for the perfect 1st Christmas ornament. I love the idea of getting a personalized stocking, but the advice I have gotten is to wait until after Christmas to buy one as many places have good deals right after Christmas.
You’re right Diana, there are lots of good deals after Christmas, but for Baby’s first I like to have at least a basic stocking to take pictures with. Best wishes.
