About the A Visit From St. Nick set: In 2021, the USPS issued a set of four Forever stamps picturing different scenes from the classic Christmas poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas.” The set was even named after the poem, though shortened slightly to A Visit From St. Nick. The stamps picture St. Nicholas on a roof about to go down a chimney, a fireplace with stockings, St. Nicholas winking, and a view of him flying across the sky in his sleigh.
History the stamp represents: In Clement Clark Moore’s famous poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” Moore talked about several holiday traditions that still exist today. For example, he says “The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there…” In 2021, the USPS illustrated this particular line on one of four new A Visit From St. Nick stamps.
Today, almost everyone who celebrates Christmas hangs stockings. There’s one for each member of the family – sometimes even or pets! They might be richly decorated store-bought stockings, handmade family heirlooms, or even actual socks belonging to each person. It all depends on that family’s specific traditions.
As for what St. Nicholas leaves in the stockings, this varies from family to family, too. However, they’re usually all small items (big gifts are wrapped up and placed under the Christmas tree). One of the most traditional stocking stuffers are whole oranges. Their golden-orange color is said to represent the gold coins gifted to a poor family by the original St. Nicholas all those centuries ago.
No matter your family’s traditions, one of the most fun parts of Christmas morning is looking inside your stocking to see what St. Nicholas brought.
