Old World Christmas Holiday Hearth Ornament

Hanging a stocking by the fireplace became popular in the 1800s. Legend has it that St. Nicholas tossed bags of gold down the chimney into stockings drying by the fire that belonged to three poor sisters who lacked dowries. Today, children still hang stockings hoping for a Christmas surprise.

Desires by Mikolay will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the SPCA of Westchester, dedicated to helping animals in need.
