Holiday stockings have been a part of family traditions for more years than we can remember. In fact, their origin can be traced back to the 1800’s from old English folktales passed down through generations.
This tale is all about Old Saint Nicholas, one special night a year he sneaks down each and every chimney with his handy-dandy list. He also brings his giant red bag filled with gold to leave in the stockings of the nice little boys and girls, and coal to leave to the naughty ones. The next morning when the children awake, they joyfully rush to their stockings to see what Santa left them.
Since then, stockings have become a huge phenomenon. Whether they’re homemade or store bought, the unique little treasures inside delight children. Why not make your holiday season even more memorable this year, one stocking stuffer at a time!
