Looking in the window Saint Nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed. He also noticed the daughters' stockings. Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings. The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life. Children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France the children place their shoes by the fireplace, a tradition dating back to when children wore wooden peasant shoes.


他透过窗户,看到一家人都已睡着了,同时也注意到了女孩们的长统袜。随即,他从口袋里掏出三小包黄金从烟囱上一个个投下去,刚好掉在女孩们的长统袜里。 第二天早上,女儿们醒来发现她们的长统袜里装满了金子,足够供她们买嫁妆了。这个贵族也因此能亲眼看到他的女儿们结婚,从此便过上了幸福快乐的生活。后来,世界各地的孩子们都继承了悬挂圣诞袜的传统。有些国家的孩子则有其它类似的风俗,如在法国,孩子们将鞋子放在壁炉旁,该传统最早可以追溯到孩子们穿木制的乡下人鞋这一时期。
