S02 Bonus Episode The Twelve Nuggets of Christmas, Nugget 4, The Christmas Stocking

The legend of the Stockings. And, by the way, if you find this one a little misogynistic it not my fault, you’ll have to take it up with the folks who perpetuated the story. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a very poor man was left to himself providing for 3 daughters. Unfortunately, they lived in poverty and had no money for doweries for the girls, which was apparently a very important thing at the time. Could get them ‘married-off’ without a dowry. Generous old St. Nick was aware of this tough situation the poor and aging father of 3 daughters was in, and late one night provided a very generous solution.
