Nicholas of Myra tossed bags of gold into the home, either through the chimney or an open window. The stocking custom came many years later when Saint Nicholas was morphed into Santa Claus.
There is a story that St Nicholas put in gold coins in stockings that were hung in a house for drying, of a man that was poor. The stockings were for his three daughters, and they woke up with a gold coin in each stocking, and they happily married.
In many traditions, boots are put out for St. Nicholas on the evening of December 5th, known as St. Nicholas Eve. Children place their boots or shoes by the door, hoping that St. Nicholas will fill them with treats and gifts. This custom is particularly popular in countries like the Netherlands and Germany. On the morning of December 6th, they check their boots to see what surprises St. Nicholas has left.
