| Text | In this podcast, the word "stockings" means very large, colorful socks that are hung near the chimney and filled with presents the night before Christmas. In a popular poem, "The Night Before Christmas," the author wrote: "Stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) soon would be there." The word "stockings" can also refer to a thin piece of clothing that a woman wears over her feet and legs, such as nylons or tights. For example, "Do you think black or skin-colored stockings would look better with this dress?" As a verb, "to stock" means to have a supply of goods to sell: "We need to stock more of those notebooks because they are selling very quickly." |
