I don’t think Christmas would be the same for my family without the beloved stocking. There’s something magical and exciting about digging into the goodies of a stocking. Even if it’s something so “everyday” as a pair of socks or your favorite snack. The tradition of stockings has been around for at least a couple hundred years, as documented in some of the most cherished Christmas story classics that date back about that far.
So let’s look into the list of some of my favorites…
