Christmas Stocking Fillers 2009
 
Although it is a traditional custom to hand a stocking over the fireplace for Santa to fill with goodies, do we know the origin of this seasonal act that developed into the ‘xmas stocking fillers’ concept we still acknowledge today.
 
There are no firm, documented events to refer to, only legends that vary from place to place and differ in content. A popular version reads like an Aesop fable or children’s fairy tale and depicts a poor man with three beautiful daughters. Due to his financial situation, he worried what would become of them once he had passed.
 
Saint Nicholas was passing through the village when he learned of the old man’s circumstances from the other villagers. The poor man’s neighbours sensed that Saint Nicholas wanted to help but warned him that the man was proud and would not accept charity.

Stocking Fillers- Christmas Traditions, Past and Present
 
Physically filling a stocking with stocking fillers for a child at Christmas is not something many of us do, though most parents will admit to buying smaller presents deemed as ‘stocking fillers’. So how many bygone Christmas traditions – of our country or otherwise - do we still follow, or have adapted to suit our modern times?
 
Examples include: Predicting the future was an ancient pastime in Poland. Putting a sixpence in the Christmas pudding is still widely practised, though a 20p coin is substituted. Mistletoe for smooching couples – though this was not the tradition, the act of kissing under a sprig of mistletoe is very much a part of Christmas parties and celebrations today. Poinsettias are, today, a traditional Christmas plant to have in the house or to hang on wreaths. The Yule log is a symbol of the Yule festival and is still seen today, though usually as a chocolate cake. The tradition and history of giving Christmas presents starts formally with Saint Nicholas, who was famed for his gifts to charitable causes.

The message is simple; a gift is a gift. Stocking fillers in stockings may not be the ‘main show’ but they are often the ones we put more thought into. If you haven’t before hung a stocking from the fireplace, perhaps it is something you should adopt, as the sheer act of joining in this custom will evoke a memory for any child (or adult). And that is something that money can’t buy, neither can it be found in the shops. Recapture some of the ‘fun’ and lose some of the outright commercialism that is now – according to some - today’s ‘tradition’......................
