After losing all his money in useless and bad inventions the family had to move into a peasant's cottage, where the daughters did their own cooking, sewing and cleaning.When it came time for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed as his daughters could not marry without dowries, money and property given to the new husband's family.One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry. That night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the nobleman's house. 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.

关于圣诞节在火炉边悬挂圣诞袜也有一个有趣的传说。很久很久以前有一个心地善良的贵族,他的妻子因病去逝,抛下他和他的三个女儿。这个贵族尝试了不少发明,都失败了,但也因此耗尽了钱财,所以他们不得不搬到一家农舍里生活,他的女儿们也只得亲自烧煮、缝纫和打扫。
一晃几年过去,女儿们陆续到了出嫁的年龄,父亲却变得更加沮丧,因为他没钱给女儿们买嫁妆。
一天晚上,女儿们洗完衣服后将长统袜挂在壁炉前烘干。圣人Nicholas知道了她们父亲的境况后,就在那天晚上,来到她们的家门前。他从窗口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。
