Using your personalized Christmas stocking is easy. Hang it up in a prominent place during the holiday season, like by the fireplace or on a mantel. To add a more festive touch, you can stuff it with small gifts or treats. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to hand - wash the stocking in cold water to preserve the color and fabric quality. Avoid using harsh detergents. After washing, let it air dry. Be careful not to pull or tug on the print too hard to prevent it from peeling. With proper care, your stocking will last for many holiday seasons.
