The dryer ate the other one or maybe it was the washer but it is missing and cannot throw out a good sock!

In old folklore, St Nick threw 3 gold coins into a poor family's window. One landed in a freshly-washed stocking hung on the mantle to dry.

Good morning William. I don't understand why one sock either. I go to a lot of houses and there are several hung on the mantle.

Candice A. Donofrio shared the folklore behind it. Fun question, William Feela!

We don't do just one sock. We do one for each person. But they aren't socks we would ever wear!

That I do not know, will you be sharing the answer in the future or is it just something you are pondering on yourself?

I just figured it was because one sock always goes missing... Might as well use a single sock than waste a pair!

If gifts did come in socks from Santa, if this was all real...people would hang burlap sacks

I have no idea... maybe the other sock is lost? I did not grow up hanging socks and never had a fireplace, either, as a child.
