Best Answer

With hopes that Santa Claus would visit their homes on Christmas Eve, most people hang stockings for Christmas. It is believed that St. Nicholas, on whom Santa is based, left bags full of gold in a stocking to save a family on Christmas Eve. This act resulted in a stocking being put up, with hopes of a gift from Santa
