What is it about a Christmas stocking? Old or young, waking up on Christmas morning<\/a> to a stocking lumpy with little surprises has its own special joy. These healthy stocking stuffer ideas have the perfect gift for everyone on your list!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always fun pulling the hidden items out to reveal the small gifts inside, even if it\u2019s something as small as a pack of gum or as practical as a pair of fuzzy new socks! Having all of these ideas in one big list makes your holiday season shopping even easier (even if you did miss the Black Friday deals<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Tradition of Christmas Stockings<\/h2>\n

Thanks to the famous poem \u201cThe Night Before Christmas,\u201d we know Christmas stockings have been \u201chung by the chimney with care\u201d for over 200 years. But exactly how long ago the tradition began and why it became so popular aren\u2019t as well known.<\/p>\n

Most agree the Christmas stocking tradition pays tribute to St. Nicholas<\/a>, the real man behind today\u2019s Santa traditions.<\/p>\n

The legend goes that St. Nicholas heard of a widowed man who couldn\u2019t pay a dowry for his three daughters. This was a desperate situation in those times. St. Nicholas dropped gold coins down the widower\u2019s chimney by night and a coin fell into one of the stockings hung by the fire to dry. The widower and his daughters were overjoyed to find the coins the next morning, their worries over.<\/p>\n

The example of St. Nicholas continues to shape our idea of the true spirit of Christmas today! My kids also participate in the St. Nicholas Day<\/a> tradition of leaving a boot out for \u201cSt. Nick\u201d to fill with treats every December 6th.<\/p>\n
