Add a Personal Touch to an Enduring Christmas Tradition With a Customized Christmas Stocking
A stocking is an empty sock or sock-shaped bag that children hang on Christmas Eve for Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus to fill with small gifts like candies, fruits, coins, and toys. In Western culture, tradition warns that a child who behaves poorly will receive only coal in their stocking.

The stocking is a Christmas tradition that dates back centuries to the story of Saint Nicholas, a generous Christian saint. Legend has it that he threw gold into the stockings of three beautiful daughters who couldn’t afford their dowries; their father was worried they would become destitute and be forced to marry poor suitors.
Regardless of where the ritual originated, it has since evolved into hanging an empty stocking for Santa to fill with toys, candy, and trinkets on Christmas Eve. Some families even use boot-size stockings to hold more gifts for each member of the household.

Stockings are an integral part of the Christmas holiday tradition. They are hung by children on Christmas Eve in the belief that Santa Claus will fill them with small gifts. The gifts are generally of a small nature, including toys, candy, fruits, coins and other items often referred to as stocking stuffers. The name of the stocking is usually embroidered on the front so that Santa can easily discern whose stocking is whose.
The popular legend of the origin of Christmas stockings tells of a noble man named Saint Nicholas who secretly dropped a bag of gold down the chimney of a recently widowed father. The contents of the bag were enough to provide a dowry for his daughters, ensuring they would be able to marry well. The father was so grateful that he hung the stockings for his daughters every Christmas. The stockings are made with durable red corduroy and feature a pretty felt holly detail on the cuff, toe and heel.
