Christmas Stocking Stuffers

Christmas Stocking Stuffers

The tradition of Christmas Stockings

The tradition of Christmas stocking apparently came from a wealthy and kind nobleman who was upset over his wife’s death and wasted all his money. As the family had no money left his three daughters had no dowries and would not have been able to marry and we destined to become spinsters. Aparently Saint Nicholas heard of this dilemma and as was his generous nature, he had to help. As he did not want anyone to know who was helping them he rode a horse past the daughter’s home and threw purses containing gold coins (for the girl’s dowries) down the chimney. The girls had hung their washing (including some stockings) over the chimney to dry and the stockings caught the purses on their way down the chimney. Thus the tradition of hanging stocking up on the chimney and Santa Claus coming down the chimney to deliver the gifts was born

Christmas stocking stuffers

Petals has some great Christmas Stocking stuffers available for delivery either to your recipient or to yourself so you can prepare the stocking yourself. What about a great kids back pack set, or another great christmas stocking stuffer is some sporting equipment. For the slightly older christmas stocking owner perhaps some imported beer or wine would make a great christmas stocking stuffer. Petals has a great range of different christmas stocking stuffer ideas suitable for everyone.
