A Notable Addition to the Stocking Stuffers Series

I really am enjoying the Stocking Stuffers series.  Since each year is a different artist and a different theme, we are getting some very fun variety.  Tracy Larsen designed this year’s, the fourth in the series, and theme is music.

The stocking this year is gold is color.  It’s got music across it in black.  I suspect the notes are a traditional Christmas song, but I’d have to try to play it to figure out what song it is.  The fringe for the stocking is a piano keyboard.  And sticking out of the top of the stocking we’ve got some musical instruments.  We’ve got a recorder, jingle bells, a drum, a violin, and a horn.  Around the instruments, we’ve got evergreen branches.

Now, I know what you’re thinking.  How do all these instruments fit in a stocking.  And you know what, you’re right.  Except that Christmas is magical, so all these items can fit into the stocking without it being any problem.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Seriously, I do like this ornament.  Yes, it’s a bit unrealistic, but all of them are in this series (we started with pets, after all).  This one especially really embodies the theme from start to finish, and it’s just plain fun.

Since this is a stocking, it doesn’t stand on its own.  When you go to hang it, you’ll find that it hangs straight.  And the series marker is on the back of the ornament.

Musicians will especially enjoy seeing something they love represented in this series.  But anyone who enjoys a good themed ornament will be happy to add the fourth Stocking Stuffers ornament to their collection.

Enjoy the rest of the Stocking Stuffers series.
