Fun fact
Waking up on Christmas morning to see your stocking filled with presents at the end of your bed has long been a staple tradition, and as far as anyone is concerned the bigger the stocking the better. But did you know that the largest stocking ever made was in Tuscany, Italy, measuring up at 168 feet long and 70 feet wide. It was created to raise money for charity and contained balloons with candy inside
