Christmas During the Great Depressionwatching this and hearing that it was common for people to get oranges in their stockings during the great depression flash me back to my christmas stockings during my childhood
I don't think it ever occurred to me to question why we always got an orange in our stockings
it was just a thing
but hearing that it was common during the great depression really puts a spin on things you never thought about
I think my parents were too young to have been in the great depression themselves, but their parents definitely were
they're like in their 80s
