Make Christmas More Festive with Rustic Decor
Once fall gets underway, it’s only a matter of time before Christmas bells start ringing. Before you know it, you’ll be pulling out decorations, putting up the tree and singing your favorite carols. Christmas stockings are iconic parts of the holiday celebration, but the brightly colored styles that appear in stores around Halloween don’t match rustic decor. When decking the halls around your cabin or lodge, you need something rugged like the Lakeshore Christmas Stocking. Instead of a red and white design reminiscent of a Santa suit, the Lakeshore Christmas Stocking features subtle colors and rustic images. It starts with a furry cuff that makes you feel cozy just looking at it and moves on to bands of blue, green, tan and brown. Each section features its own motif. Leaves appear around the leg, and the foot serves as the “canvas” for an image of a log cabin in a pine forest. Smoke streams from the chimney, suggesting that those inside are enjoying a heartwarming Christmas celebration of their own. The Lakeshore Rustic Christmas Stocking provides 14 inches by 20 inches of space for Santa to stuff full of Christmas goodies. Whether you’re hanging it up to hold your kids’ favorite candies or trying to give your spouse a hint that you’d like something special this year, it looks great when lit by the flickering flames of an evening fire. The rugged design is also a perfect contribution to cabin decor in other areas of the home. Make it a bedroom decoration for your little ones or the centerpiece of a holiday display in your front hallway for a unique touch. Made in the USA from fabric that’s 45 percent polyester, 30 percent acrylic, 20 percent wool and finished with other fibers, this rugged Christmas stocking is constructed to last. This puts it a cut above the mass-produced stockings found in most stores, many of which have to be replaced every year. It’s an accessory you can use season after season to complement wood furniture and make your holiday setup a little more distinctive.
