Christmas Stocking

Tips and Tricks
Hanging Christmas stockings is just one of the
many traditions that fi ll the days leading up to
Christmas. One theory regarding the origins of
stockings says the tradition began when a poor widower
who had three daughters worried over having enough
money for their wedding dowries to help secure the
daughters’ futures. The women, who had hung their
stockings by the fi replace to dry, woke up to fi nd solid
gold spheres inside. This legend suggests kindly St.
Nicholas visited the home in the night and left the
presents, helping ensure the daughters could marry
well, after all.
Christmas stockings were the fi rst places where gifts
were stowed, before under the boughs of Christmas
trees became the primary spot for placing gifts. Then
stockings were secondary vessels reserved for small
trinkets. Today stockings are largely Christmas decorations
rather than places to place gifts. Still, they’re a
key component of holiday magic.
When including stockings in holiday festivities, follow
these tips for whimsy and more.
• Utilize stocking holders. Stocking holders are either
metal or wooden devices that are placed on mantels.
Hooks on the holders suspend the stockings. Just be
sure the holders are sturdy enough to handle the weight
of a stuffed stocking if you plan on fi lling it with
goodies.
• Determine your style. There are Christmas stockings
that coordinate to just about any interior design style.
From farmhouse to modern to traditional, choose one
that fi ts with your aesthetic. That isn’t to say you can’t
mix and match stockings if you prefer a more eclectic,
homespun feel.
• Enhance your stocking look. If stockings are strictly
decorative, enhance their look with a few tricks. First,
use tissue paper or balled up shopping bags to stuff the
stockings and give them shape. Fill a small baggie with
sand or fl orist glass and place in the heel of the stocking
to balance it out and prevent the stocking from blowing
around in the breeze.
• No fi replace; no problem. Stockings are traditionally
hung from the fi replace mantel, but if you don’t have
a fi replace there is no need to fret. Simply use ribbons
to hang them from the bannister of a staircase, or hang
stockings right on walls with removable hooks, or from
sturdy shelves. You also can think creatively and hang
larger stockings on a door like you might a wreath.
