Germany is where the Christmas stocking tradition began. In the old days, children used to wash out their socks and hang them by the fire to dry. Poor children only had maybe two good pairs of stockings for everyday wear and would use one of these as a Christmas stocking on Christmas Eve for Santa to fill with goodies. As times began to change, Christmas stockings were made to use just for the purpose of hanging for Christmas decorating every year. Children would still hang their beautiful stockings by the fireplace on Christmas Eve in anticipation of a visit from Santa; he would fill them with fruit, nuts, books and toys. This is just one of many tales that have emerged through the ages.
