Hanging stockings at Christmas is a tradition rooted in kindness and generosity. The custom comes from the legend of St. Nicholas, who secretly gave gold coins to a poor family by dropping them down the chimney. The coins landed in stockings hanging by the fireplace to dry.

Over time, families began hanging stockings on Christmas Eve in hopes they would be filled with small gifts, sweets, or treats. Today, stockings are a symbol of festive excitement and the joy of giving — a reminder that even the smallest gifts can bring the greatest happiness.
