Did you ever wonder . . .
 where the tradition of hanging Christmas stockingsoriginated? As you can well imagine, I did. And I thought about the first home my family livedin where no fireplace existed. Every year my parents handed my three siblings and me a sockfrom my father’s sock drawer, all different colors so as to know which was
our
sock or stockingas the case was. We would drape each empty sock over the back of an overstuffed chair and onChristmas morning, those socks bulged with fruit, peppermint sticks, nuts and small trinketslike Silly Putty and miniature decks of cards. Instantly we would grind the peppermint stick into the orange and suck the juice through the candy. I don’t even know if they make those kind of peppermint sticks anymore.Eventually, we moved into a larger home
with
a fireplace and home-made stockings with each of our names stitchedacross the top. No more chair stockings. All were hung over the fireplace with care in descending order of our ages . . .over time the stockings increased in number with the arrival of three additional siblings.But I digress . . . After Googling several sites, the most common story for the tradition of the Christmas stocking is thatstockings are hung near the chimney on Christmas Eve for Santa Claus to fill it with goodies for the children. Children inUnited States and some other countries have been following this tradition of hanging a Christmas stocking, believing thatFather Christmas will fill it with sweets and gifts for them.The tradition of the Christmas stockings began by a story told since ancient time about a kind noble man who had threedaughters. The wife of the nobleman died and the daughters and their father were left in a state of sorrow. The daughtershad to do all the work in the house. When the daughters became young and eligible for marriage, the poor father could notafford to give huge dowries to their husbands. The father told his daughters that somehow all would be fine.One evening the daughters, after washing their stockings, hung them near the fireplace to dry. Santa Claus beingmoved by the plight of the daughters came in and filled the stockings hanging by the chimney with gold . The next morn-ing the family noticed the gold bags and the nobleman had enough for his daughters’marriages. The daughters married the loves of their lives and all was fine. Once this hope-ful news spread, the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings began.Who knew?

This guy goes into his dentist's office, becausesomething is wrong with his mouth. After a briefexamination, the dentist exclaims, "Holy Smoke! Thatplate I installed in your mouth about six months agohas nearly completely corroded! What on earth haveyou been eating?" "Well . . . the only thing I can thinkof is this . . . my wife made me someasparagus about four months ago with thisstuff on It . . . Hollandaise sauce shecalled it . . . and doctor, I'm talkin'DELICIOUS! I've never tasted anything like it,and ever since then I've been putting it on every thing. . . meat, fish, toast, vegetables . . . you name it!""That's probably it," replied the dentist "Hollandaisesauce is made with lemon juice, which is acidic andhighly corrosive. It seems as thought I'll have to installa new plate, but made out of chrome this time." "Whychrome?" the man asked. "Well, everyone knows thatthere's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!"
