Stockings

How many of you know the tradition of why we put up stockings? Well in the old days, each night before bed, the children had chores to do. One of these was to wash their stockings for the next day. To dry them, they would hang them near the fire place.

Now if you remember about Saint Nicholas, you know that I love to help children. Once I helped a poor farmer come up with the money he needed to have his daughters marry by leaving it in the stocking at night.

The tradition was started.Today you still leave the stockings out for me to fill all over the world.
