Custom #13: Christmas stockings
On Christmas eve families hang an empty sock or sock-shaped bag on their fireplace mantle, bedpost, or so that Santa Claus can fill it with small toys, candy or other small gifts. These items are called stocking stuffers! Some families create their own stockings with each family member's name applied to the stocking so that Santa will know which stocking belongs to which family member. A common Western tradition is that children who behave badly during the year will receive a piece of coal instead of presents!
