This is intriguing, help me out with the reference. Who’s one-legged Nate?

Nate is some random fella who has a ghost with one leg. 🙂

😂Well I went down quite a rabbit hole for Nate. Glad he’s not real, sounds like a traumatic afterlife!

Christmas visits and the apocalypse, for some families they’re the same thing

You would have probably taken them off and washed them before you did that in the old days.

They're ceremonial now and more for display purposes. The stocking I had for so long was given to me when I was a baby and was bigger than I was then. Even larger than average....

My great-grandmother made mine when I was a baby. I still have it in a box somewhere.

Being from the Caribbean, we didn’t have fireplaces or hearths (at least, not indoors). My parents tied our stockings to the footposts at the end of our beds. My mother quilted our stockings from scrap material left from her sewing projects. I took mine to college as a souvenir from home, I guess.

We lived in several houses without fireplaces as well. My mom would just lay them out on the sofa Christmas Eve night. Your mom’s idea sounds risky if your kids are light sleepers 😂

Very true. Or at least a financial apocalypse...
