In my growing up years, we hung real stockings- and I mean nylons! Do you have any idea how much they stretch and how much you can load them up? We would actually pin them to the top of the sofa (we didn’t have a fireplace anyway) and in the morning, they were stretched all the way down across the seat and often touched the floor. Took all of 20 minutes just to empty them.
