Stocking fillers are an important part of the Christmas festivities, waking up on Christmas morning to find a Stocking filled with lots of goodies is exciting.  Wax and Wane have some Christmas Stocking Filler ideas along with some perfect secret Santa gifts!

One of the many legends associated with The Christmas Stocking claims that the practice of hanging up stockings originated with St. Nicholas.  A poor man needed a dowry for his daughter to be able to marry, St Nicholas tossed a bag of gold down the man's chimney. The bag of gold landed in the young lady's stockings that had been hung up to dry by the fire.    

Whatever the legend, finding a stocking filled to the brim on Christmas morning is a magical and joyful occasion!
