Stockings is an empty sock or sock-shaped bag that children hang on Christmas Eve so that Santa Claus can fill it with small toys, candy, fruit, coins or other small gifts when he arrives. These small items are often referred to as stocking stuffers or stocking fillers. Peter and May Parker hung up three stockings in their home for Christmas, even though Ben had died and it was just the two of them. During their battle on Christmas Eve, Rhino said that after he was finished with Spider-Man, the hero would not fit into a stocking.
