The Christmas stocking’s origin story is something like this: St. Nick wanted to help an old man, but knew he wouldn’t accept charity. So, at night, he (quite precisely) threw pieces of gold through an open window, which landed in stockings that were hung up at the fireplace to dry. It’s a great story that has paved the way for us to put presents into very handsome stockings, like this one from
The White Company.
