What might you hang on the fireplace on Christmas Eve?

Myffa, Coal is never mentioned in the U K though it is mentioned in the original story. That is now just a Continnental tradition.

I can't imagine there are many in the UK who use stockings and fireplaces. They don't hold enough for the modern child's expectations! Pillowcases at the end of the bed is more likely - or parcels under the tree. I'd be more likely to put damp gloves on the mantlepiece.

I wish I had a fireplace inside.

Anyone from the Netherlands recall wonderful tales of Black Pete ??

Remember that Christmas is in the summer in the southern Hemisphere

TRUE CANADIAN Laurel, Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
