And don’t forget the tradition of putting an orange in the bottom of a stocking! Lots of tales of where this tradition came from – everything from being tied to St. Nicholas, a symbol of prosperity (i.e. during The Great Depression), and a symbol of joy and happiness. Whatever it is, my family’s done it forever and now I do the same with my own children.
