What are Christmas Stockings?
Christmas stockings originated in Germany, and involve hanging an empty sock or sock shaped bag on Christmas Eve for Santa to fill with special small gifts. These small items are often referred to as stocking stuffers. In some cases the contents of the stocking might be the only gifts a child will receive for Christmas. Stockings are hung at the foot of the child’s bed, on the fireplace mantle or sometimes lined around the base of the Christmas tree. Select this link to view our Christmas Tree Skirt.
The types of gifts usually placed in the stocking include, a piece of favorite food, fruit or treat, small toys or doll, bubble bath or cologne, crayons, coloring books. Select this link to view our Christmas Tree Skirt.
Originally, children used one of their everyday socks, but today stores carry a tremendous variety of styles and sizes of Christmas stockings, from small and conservative, to long and stretchy, to gigantic. Select this link to view our Santa Claus Hats.
Many families create their own Christmas stockings with each family member's name applied so that Santa will not be confused about which stocking belongs to which family member. Select this link to view our Santa Suits.
