Christmas Stocking Holder
By tradition, the
Christmas stocking is hung on the fireplace, but, since many modern homes do
not have fireplaces, stockings may be hung in almost any location. One
traditional practice is to reserve the stocking for five gifts that stimulate
each of the five senses, for example:
- Something to eat like fruit or candy
- A toy or other item that makes a noise (this can even include
nuts to crack)
- An item that is visually pleasing in any way like jewelry,
cuff-links or a coloring book.
- Something that has tactile appeal such as modeling clay, a
soft toy, lingerie or even a pair of novelty Christmas socks.
- Any item with a distinctive scent such as bubble-bath,
cologne, perfume, etc.
Originally, children
simply used one of their everyday socks, but eventually special Christmas
stockings were created for this purpose. Today, stores carry a tremendous
variety of styles and sizes of Christmas stockings, from small and
conservative, to long and stretchy, to gigantic. Many families create their own
Christmas stockings with each family member's name applied to the stocking so
that Santa (or the family members) aren't confused about which stocking belongs
to which family member.
