Masonic Christmas: the tree, the stocking and the sweater

Square and compasses in gold on Christmas red. For the Brother’s tree, and for the Lodge Christmas party.

A Mason’s Christmas has a few fixtures of its own: the Lodge Christmas party, the ornament on the tree, and the sweater for both. The pieces on this page are built for exactly those. The stocking and sweater carry the same Fair Isle band of square and compasses, snowflakes and chevrons, the sweater in Christmas red, forest green and gold, the stocking on deep red with a large gold emblem. The tree skirt is Christmas red with a ring of gold emblems and cream snowflakes, edged in green and gold, so the three read as a set on the mantel.

There are three ornaments to choose from: engraved crystal that catches the tree lights, a metal ornament in gold on near-black, and a glossy ceramic one in Christmas red. The wrapping paper is the shop’s own, gold emblems and cream snowflakes on deep red, for the gifts under a Mason’s tree. Stocking stuffers from elsewhere on the site are collected at the bottom.

Christmas gifts for a Mason

The ornament is the gift for the tree. If he already has the crystal one, the metal and ceramic versions are different enough to hang beside it. For one gift that is clearly his and not the household’s, the sweater is the one to wear to the Lodge party.

For a larger gift, look at the gift sets: the Festive Board Set of three engraved glasses is the Christmas parcel for the Brother who hosts, and the Raising Set works for a Brother raised earlier in the year. The personalized whiskey glass with his name and Lodge number is the Christmas piece that is his and nobody else’s.

For the Lodge Christmas party

For a table gift, the ceramic or metal ornament works one per Brother, wrapped in the Masonic paper. For a Lodge that runs a Christmas raffle, the sweater and the Festive Board Set both work as prizes. Message the shop on Etsy with the count before ordering, and read the Lodge orders guide for how to send the details. Most pieces are made and shipped in the United States, and December processing times are on each listing.

Questions

Before you order

When is the last day to order for Christmas delivery?

It depends on the piece. Each Etsy listing shows its current processing time and the shipping estimate for your address; add a week of margin in December. The sweater takes longest because it is made in his size; ornaments and wrapping paper are fastest.

Do the stocking, tree skirt and sweater match?

They are made to pair. The stocking and sweater carry the same Fair Isle band of square and compasses, snowflakes and chevrons; the tree skirt is Christmas red with a ring of gold emblems and cream snowflakes, edged in green and gold.

Can an ornament be engraved with a name and year?

The crystal ornament carries the emblem only. For a dated keepsake, the personalized whiskey glass or slate plaque on the Personalized page takes a name and year.

Where are the pieces made and shipped from?

Most pieces are made and shipped in the United States. Each Etsy listing shows the current processing time and the shipping options for your address before you buy.

Is Meet Upon The Level connected to a Grand Lodge?

No. Meet Upon The Level is an independent shop run by a Freemason for Brethren and their families. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any Grand Lodge, and every order is placed and paid for through Etsy.
