By popular belief, the Christmas stocking tradition came from the legends of old Saint Nicholas.<\/p>\n

(Menurut kepercayaan terkenal, tradisi kaus kaki Natal berasal dari legenda Santo Nikolas kuno.)<\/span><\/p>\n

A family in his village had three daughters, and they were too poor to pay for their dowries<\/strong> for marriage. Nicholas was a generous man, and one evening, he dropped a bag of gold down the chimney or through a window. It fell into a hanging stocking which was drying.<\/p>\n

(Sebuah keluarga di desa memiliki tiga anak perempuan, dan mereka terlalu miskin untuk membayar mahar pernikahan. Nicholas adalah pria yang murah hati, dan suatu malam, dia menjatuhkan sekantong emas ke cerobong asap atau melalui jendela. Emas itu jatuh ke kaus kaki tergantung yang sedang mengering.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The next year, Nicholas gave the same gift for the second daughter, and the third year, he gave the same gift for the third daughter. The third year, the girl\u2019s father stayed up all night to see if something suspicious<\/strong> was happening. Then the legend of Saint Nicholas spread.<\/p>\n

(Tahun berikutnya, Nicholas memberikan hadiah yang sama untuk putri kedua, dan tahun ketiga, dia memberikan hadiah yang sama untuk putri ketiga. Tahun ketiga, ayah gadis itu begadang semalaman untuk melihat apakah ada sesuatu yang mencurigakan terjadi. Kemudian legenda Santo Nikolas pun menyebar.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, the tradition has taken many shapes and sizes, from high-knee socks to boot-size stockings that many people hang in their homes today. Some countries often include an orange or tangerine in the toe to symbolize Saint Nicholas\u2019s original gold gift. Other cultures leave shoes by the fireplace or outside their doors to receive gifts.<\/p>\n

(Selama bertahun-tahun, tradisi ini telah berubah dalam banyak bentuk dan ukuran, saat ini mulai dari kaus kaki setinggi lutut hingga ukuran sepatu bot yang digantung banyak orang di rumah mereka. Beberapa negara sering memasukkan jeruk atau jeruk keprok di jari kaki untuk melambangkan hadiah emas asli Santo Nikolas. Budaya lainnya meletakkan sepatu di dekat perapian atau di luar pintu mereka untuk menerima hadiah.)<\/span><\/p>\n
