Placing gifts, money, and treats in stocking have come a long way from its original tradition. Have you ever wondered why we hang up stockings? Well, it’s so Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas can fill it with presents if you’ve been good. According to tradition, three poor sisters left their stocking drying over their fireplace one night.

Since this story, children (and adults) have hung up their Christmas stockings with hopes of finding them filled with gifts on Christmas morning.
