Christmas stockings
Mantel gift holders
Christmas stockings are large sock-shaped bags hung by a fireplace or bed on Christmas Eve to be filled with small gifts and treats.
The tradition holds that Santa Claus fills them overnight.
Children wake to find candy, toys, and trinkets stuffed inside: The kids dumped out their Christmas stockings before we'd even made coffee.
