This tradition can be traced to the "depression"...maybe before I'm not sure.
But it has to do with giving that which someone doesn't see too often.
A fresh Orange...or Tangerine.was a treamendous treat back in the day when "Santa Cluase " was adopted by the USA from the Netherlands' "Sinter Clause"(sp)
In "New York"(new Amsterdam).
Think of the TRADITION...you surely do NOT hang STOCKINGS over a FIREPLACE in S.Cal.
My goodness...how deprived you must be to not know the joy of putting on "fireplace roasted socks"over cold feet in the middle of a blizzard.
I Love the snow!
