up on the Christmas morning to peek inside the stockings and find his
much-awaited gifts. |
Finding his gifts inside the stockings, kid’s
happiness is an occasion to behold. Traditionally, the origin of story
of Christmas stockings is related to original Santa Claus (Saint
Nicholas). It is believed that, three poor girls who needed money for
their wedding were given gifts of three gold coins in their stockings.
The poor girls had hung the stocking by the fire place without even
knowing about the gifts. This story has led to the culture of Christmas
stockings and is also considered auspicious.
Christmas stockings were filled with gifts like candies, chocolates,
nuts and fruits during the old times. Now the culture has changed. Small
little gifts have given way to expensive gifts. It is a common sight to
see stuffed stockings with art and craft supplies, school items and toy
batteries etc. Christmas stockings are available in several designs and
colours. Made of different materials like satin or lace, one can find
creatively designed stockings. Going by the current favourite among
kids, they love to have red and green coloured stockings with the image
of Santa Claus on them. Christmas stockings are also a wonderful gift

waiting for? Go, grab your favourite Christmas stocking.
