What is the origin of stockings in Christmas and what are they used for?

Answer #1

The legend is as follows: A poor man didn’t have enough money to pay dowry to marry off his daughters, so St. Nicholas, being charitable, dropped some bags of gold down the man’s chimney, where they ended up falling into the stockings of the girls, where they had been hung to dry….so began the tradition of filling stockings with money or gifts.
