Stuff in those Christmas stocking fillers

Sometimes, the greatest surprise gift can come from the stockings, where you would least expect! All the big presents can be wrapped up and kept under the tree. The small ones that are crammed into a stocking or a sock and hung by the chimneys are known as the Christmas stockings fillers.

The history behind this practice is that long ago, there was a poor, old man with three daughters. He was so poor that he couldn’t buy anything for his family for Christmas. Santa knew about this and decided to help the man. But, the old man wouldn’t take any charity. So, Santa on a night before Christmas crept into the old man’s house and decided to leave three bags of gold. He didn’t know where to put them, so he found three stockings of the girls hanging by the chimney. So he dropped the gold into the stockings and so this in turn led kids to hang up their stockings by the chimney so Santa could visit them and put their gifts into it.

Kids love the stockings as they are filled with so many goodies, apart from their main presents. Christmas stocking fillers don’t need much thought while purchasing. Parents can fill them up with anything from small stuffed toys like teddy bears, beads, chains and ponies for little girls and cars, balls, colors and trucks for boys, to stickers, piggy banks, small books and candy in general. For adults, some useful and common articles can be used to fill up the stockings. But, it’s always nice to get creative with the Christmas stockings fillers!

What does Santa have to do with Christmas?

Jesus was born on Christmas. He was not red or white or jolly. So why is Santa a Christmas Icon?

Nothing. Just for fun. If you ask your parents too, they will also say that they don't know.
