red stocking
alone on the mantle
no children
awaiting presents
Christmas memory
the stocking
ghost of Christmas past
filled with love

This is the original haiku I used for inspiration for this post, a Sparkling Stars from Carpe Diem Haiku Kai:
Christmas stockings
hanging above the fireplace
awaiting presents
