Christmas Stocking

The tradition of the Christmas stocking seems to have originated in around the third century and involves the Bishop of Myra who became known as Saint Nicholas. The legend goes that there was a righteous and honorable man whose wife had died, leaving him to care for their three daughters. The tradition in that country at the time was that a daughter had to have a dowry to be able to get married, as this man was poor he felt bad thinking his daughters would never be

able to marry.Christmas and we will all be wanting to believe in old Saint Nick all over again! The portly red-attired fellow has always been the epitome of Christmas cheer, and his jolliest habit is certainly that of dropping in cute little gifts in stockings hanging by the fireplace. We have outgrown Santa, but just cross your heart and tell me – How many of us really do not place our wishes for Santa to fulfill on Christmas Eve? And even if you truly, madly, deeply do not believe in Santa Claus, I am sure the very vision of Santa shoving his roly-poly self down yon chimney
and hiding his goodies in the stockings does bring in a smile of festive happiness.If you are into Knitted Christmas Stockings then you definitely came to the right place as here I will provide you all you need to know about such type of Stockings, what are they used for, how you can make them and where usually is the best to purchase them.
