Holiday Socks 🧦 The tradition of putting gifts in a sock and using Christmas stockings most likely originated in Iceland 🇮🇸 In the legends of this country, there is a huge and scary Yule cat, who prowls around houses and eats those who have not acquired a new woolen outfit during the winter holidays 🐈‍⬛ The fact is that in Iceland, since ancient times they have been breeding sheep, spinning, weaving and knitting with their wool. Having a woolen item showed that a person had worked hard all year and therefore was able to provide himself with new clothes 🐑 But not everyone managed to knit a new sweater for themselves, so people were a little cunning and gave their household members at least one new woolen sock so that the Yule Cat could not eat them 😸 A little later, a legend appeared about Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus), who was known for his kindness and generosity 🎅 He learned that three poor orphan sisters lived on the outskirts of a village. They were pure in soul, humble and modest in character - he knew that they would be embarrassed to ask for help or accept it directly. Therefore, flying over their house Santa Claus threw gold coins into the chimney, which landed in the socks, which at that moment were getting dried by the fireplace! From that moment on people began hanging socks by the fireplace in hopes of receiving a blessing and help from St. Nicholas ✨ Do you have a festive stocking hanging at home? ☺️ #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny
