Stocking Versus Topper

Needlepoint.com points out the advantages of stitching a full needlepoint stocking versus the stocking topper.

In case you've never seen one, stocking toppers, also called stocking cuffs, are finished like this.

You could also look for mini socks, which are small scale stockings that can be finished either open like a full-sided stocking, or closed to be used as an ornament.  Kathy Schenkel designs lots of cute mini socks, many of which come with a felt animal to be tucked in the top of the sock.

There are lots of options.  I'd advise you to figure out the finishing deadline at your favorite shop before you decide, however.
