The stockings wheren't santas idea. they where actually used as primative santa traps. you see, a long, long, long time ago, maybe even as long ago as the early 80's (i'm 16, to me that was a very long time ago). people got bored and it started to be cool to catch santa. so some people made amazing designes and contraptions to capture santa claus. but the smart ones, knowing he's a real ladies man (some chicks dig sensative guys with beards), used stocking to lure him, and ensnare him. after getting caught again and again in these traps, luckily escaping before he got found, he decided to be really sarcastic and dump peoples presents in the stockings set to snare him. after many many many years (maybe even as much as three years) it became common place to hang up a stocking for your presents at christmas.
