What Do Stockings Symbolize in Christmas?

When Saint Nicholas (or the kindred characters of Father Christmas or Santa Claus) appears, a sock-shaped bag or Christmas socks are hung on Christmas Eve or Saint Nicholas Day so that Santa Claus can fill it with splendid little gifts like cash, fruit, candy, and small toys.

The small gifts are appropriately called stocking stuffers or stocking fillers. The Christmas stocking tradition is considered to have originated in Saint Nicholas’ life.

In some Christmas stories, the contents of the Christmas stocking are the exclusive gifts given to the child by Santa Claus at Christmas; in others (and according to tradition), some items are contained in wrapping paper and then placed under the Christmas tree. In Western culture, a youngster who misbehaves during the year is threatened with receiving merely a piece or mound of coal. Some individuals even hang their Christmas stockings from their bedposts so that Santa Claus can stuff them as they sleep.
