I'm a child of the 50's (early 50's LOL) we had xmas stockins with an apple an orange and a tanrerine, nuts and a popcorn ball along with chocolate candy coins and coloring books and crayons. I still put the fruit and nuts, popcorn balls in the kids/grand kids stockings they love it. My mother in law allways used new tube socks for the stockings and before we left we had to empty them into a bag as the socks were for my FIL. LOL Love memories as our parents are no longer with us.
