In Italy, children typically hang their stockings on the night of January 5th, known as the eve of the Epiphany. This tradition is associated with La Befana, a kind old witch who brings gifts to children. She fills the stockings with sweets and small presents for those who have been good, while leaving coal for the naughty ones. The following day, January 6th, is celebrated as the Feast of the Epiphany.
A long time ago candies and fruits like oranges were expensive but every family used coal to heat their homes. Children were told that if they were naughty they would get coal in their stockings because the message the parents wanted to give was that naughty children did not deserve to get expensive gifts.
Naughty children might find a mix of humorous and less desirable items in their stockings, such as coal or switches, symbolizing their misbehavior. They could also receive practical jokes, like fake spiders or whoopee cushions, to remind them of their antics. Additionally, they might find small, unwanted gifts or treats that are slightly less appealing, like fruit or socks, as a playful reminder to improve their behavior.
