fruit, lol every year we got oranges in our stockings as kids , I don't know why.
We got the oranges too.
I googled it to find out what the story was with the fruit and it turns out that they represent the gold that the original St Nicolas threw down chimneys as charity to poor girls. So they symbolise genorosity. Also back in the day an orange in the middle of winter would have been pretty awesome lol.
