Whether they’re hung on fireplace mantles, stair banisters or at the foot of the bed, Christmas stockings are a beloved holiday tradition for many. While the origins are a bit murky (some credit the story of Saint Nicholas leaving behind gold in the drying stockings of a poor family as the source), stockings continue to be a fun way to gift small items like toys and sweets at Christmas.
