What’s in the toe of YOUR Christmas stocking?

If you, like so many of us, grew up Up North, your Christmas stocking might have had a lump in the toe… which you just knew was an orange.

That tradition started when oranges were very much a seasonal delicacy, and rather pricey Up North.

…that down here, back then: Children anticipated with glee the lump in THEIR stockings, which were apples! (Pricey, seasonal delicacy yada yada.)

Oh, and oranges, waybackwhen, were packed for shipment to those Up North destinations, in Spanish moss.

Don’t forget!
