Using dried orange slices pays homage to an old Christmas tale where St. Nicholas tossed gold coins down a man’s chimney and landed in his daughter’s stockings that were drying by the fire. The orange slices symbolize those gold coins, and many pay tribute to the tale by stuffing dried oranges in the bottom of the stocking, stringing up dried oranges about the house, or even hanging them on the Christmas tree. Not only are they natural and beautiful, but they create such a stunning scent in your home, really adding to the ambiance of the Holidays.
