When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?

Christmas Stockings
Christmas stockings are essential to Christmas decorating. The stockings work like magnets for Santa Claus. If you had been good all year round then your Christmas stockings will be filled with lovely goodies, come Christmas morning.
I think Santa and his reindeers will appreciate really snazzy designed Christmas stockings. They see billions of these that yours must stand out and perhaps will get the choicest gifts.
I had a very sad story regarding Christmas stocking when I was seven. I have to admit I was rather a bit of a handful as a child. When there was strife amongst my siblings, my parents knew that I started it all. LOL
Anyway, despite my being so naughty, I still hoped that Father Christmas, the dear old Santa Claus, would overlook my willfulness and would still leave me a present. So with so much excitement like a seven-year-old of the 70s, I hang one of my favourite red socks on our veranda. It was a knee-high sock so I thought it could sufficiently hold a few nice pesos and chocolates.
It was my little secret. I did not tell my mother and father or anyone because I had hoped to surprise them in the morning with my present from Santa; that even a naughty girl like me deserves a gift!!!
The next morning on Christmas day, I went to check and it was all empty. (I was so very, very upset, so upset in fact that it still gives me nightmare now and seriously messed me mentally.) 😉
With the maturity of a seven-year-old, I told myself that I was so naughty I did not deserve a present from Santa. Justice learned from an early age.
