   WHY DO WE HANG STOCKINGS ON CHRISTMAS EVE?

           This tradition started in Holland. On St Nicholas Day Dutch children left wooden shoes near the door for St Nicholas. They asked for him to fill them with goodies. But there were three girls who were very poor. They didn’t have any shoes. And St Nicholas threw three bags of gold into their chimney. The gold fell into their stockings, which hung by fire to dry. This story was brought to America and other countries. The stockings became a part of Christmas. People want St Nicholas to fill them with presents on Christmas Eve.
