The legend says that St. Nicholas was a man who liked help out the poor but would do it without being known. One night he threw three coins down a poor family's chimney and they landed in the stockings that the daughters had hung to dry by the fireplace. So the tradition of hanging stocking by the fireplace for St. Nicholas (and now Santa Claus) was born.
