[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"HOLIDAY STOCKINGS" PLEASE.[/quote] Sorry, but they are actually Saint Nicholas stockings and Santa Claus is a corruption of the name Saint Nicholas. So they are actually Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus stockings. They are based on an old Dutch custom of leaving wooden shoes out for Saint Nicholas on December 6. Saint Nick would put coal in the shoes of bad children and sweets into the shoes of good children. When wooden shoes were replaced by leather shoes, children would hang their stockings at the fireplace to dry. Saint Nicholas would then deposit coal or sweets into the stockings. If you want HOLIDAY STOCKINGS, create your own tradition and leave Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus alone.[/quote]
