Stocking

A stocking is a type of garment that's usually worn around the foot. Stockings vary in length, as they can cover either the entire leg or just the ankle.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, stockings are mostly used by the Smurfs as Christmas decorations, as it is custom for every Smurf to hang a stocking by the fireplace. It is usually filled with candies and various goodies made by Greedy Smurf around Christmas Eve.
