Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Holiday Stockings

What materials were early holiday stockings made from?
Early stockings were knitted by hand using natural sheep wool or coarse cotton yarns. These everyday woolen socks were sturdy enough to hold heavy items like apples, nuts, and wooden trinkets.
Why is the candy cane shaped like a curved crook?
Legend suggests that a 17th-century European choirmaster bent straight white sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's crook. The curved shape also made it convenient to hang the candy on tree branches.
How did stuffed teddy bears get their name?
The teddy bear was named after United States President Theodore Roosevelt following a hunting trip in 1902. Toy makers began crafting soft fabric bears shortly after news drawings popularized the event.
