Heh heh. We have Christmas stockings! You know, hang them from your chimney, or something, and you put small things in them. Comes with the term stocking stuffers.
It's an English Christmas tradition that is popular here in America. Kind of like how the Germans and Dutch leave their shoes by the door for Schwartze Pete and St. Nicklaus.
But why put candy in them? Isn't candy supposed to be enjoyed together with family and friends, preferably in front of a big television with good movies showing.
