Please explain: RE Fruit.
Some of you mentioned fruit (apples/oranges) in your christmas stockings....is this a normal thing? I've never heard of it before.

Re: Please explain: RE Fruit.
I think the tradition goes back to the great depression when getting an orange was a real treat.
I think some people also just like to put it at the bottom part of the stocking. We don't do that though... so maybe someone else can give some insight.
I'm pretty sure this is it.
I also remember seeing oranges in stockings on Little House on the Prairie. I was a latch key kid and watched a lot of TV.

That's interesting that there was nothing edible. Most of ours is candy or yummy treats we like. DH always gets beef jerky and I like good coffee.
I've heard of oranges and candy, but we never got them. Ours were like yours.
ha, okay, I guess I'd heard of candy in them but we didn't get it.

We always had an orange in our stocking too but I figured it was because we had FFA fruit left over and my parents were trying to get rid of it. We mostly received candy in our stockings but as we got older we also received things like refill blades for our razors, chapstick and other "necessary" items in addition to the candy.
