It's Christmas Eve, and you're putting the finishing touches on gifts. According to "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," where are you supposed to hang your stockings?
Answer By the chimney
"'Twas the night before Christmas and 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." The favorite Christmas Eve read was written by Clement Clarke Moore in 1823. Even though it wasn't meant to be instructional, ever since, we've been hanging our stockings over the fireplace.
