When I was a kid, we hung up stockings for Santa to fill, even though we didn’t have a fireplace.  My mom said that one year, she put money in our Santa stockings, and then the next year, my sister and I put lots of little stockings up on our Christmas tree!  Plus, after that year, we kept making more big stockings to hang up.  I think that the last time we put up Santa stockings, my sister and I had two or three each, and then we also had stockings for our two cats and our dog!  Of course, we got to keep the money that Santa gave to our pets.
