Large Christmas stockings for Santa to fill

A selection of the best Christmas stockings

For years, the humble Christmas stocking has long been synonymous with the 25th of December. After all, you know how the old poem goes...

"T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there."

Sure, Christmas sacks can be more convenient (and yes, roomy!) for safely hiding away your little ones' larger gifts ready for Christmas morning, but there's just something lovely about hanging a Christmas stocking ready for stocking fillers, waiting to be unwrapped on Christmas morning.

But sometimes those stockings just aren't quite large enough for the bigger items on your kids (probably) lengthy Father Christmas list.
