When we were little, we put our stockings for Father Christmas every year. Some houses we lived in didn't have a fireplace, so the stockings were placed over the edge of the bed. We worried that he wouldn't be able to visit if we didn't have a fireplace. But every year those stockings were filled with the same three things: an apple, an orange and a small bottle of lemonade.
It wasn't that we didn't get oranges or apples or lemonade throughout the year, but somehow getting them in those stockings was very special. They were something that Santa had given each of us individually. They were ours in a way that fruit in the bowl wasn't, that was for everybody.
I still remember those stockings.
Question for the blog hop: What citrus fruit was in the stockings?
Take care,
Annette

We never got fruit in our stockings, but I remember my aunts saying that they would get an orange from my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteI read recently that the orange symbolizes gold in the stocking for a prosperous year to come.
Happy Holidays!

We always put a tangerine in stockings here in the UK (well in my family anyway)but I guess oranges are just as good. Just stopping by on my visit to fellow Secret Santa bloghoppers!

The citrus fruit in your stockings was an orange. That reminds me of reading the little house books & how excited Laura was to receive an orange in her stocking.
