Show AMAZED SANTA CLA US FINDS 33 STOCKINGS IN MARYLAND HOME! LEONARDTOWN, MD. No less than 33 stockings are hung by the chimney with care each Christmas eve at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Sterling here. The couple has 17 children, who " with the grandchildren and in-laws add up to the grand total of 33. Santp Claus can hardly see the fireplace for the stockings when he slides down the chimney. But he never fails to fill them all. In the years since he started visiting the Sterling home, Santa has found that another called, the stork, also has the Sterling address in his book. Each year there has been a "new addition" to the Sterling household, or in the homes of their children. As Santa's burden has become greater he has cheerfully risen to the needs and found plenty of toys and other "goodies" to go around. But he has to replenish his supply after each visit to the Sterling home. |
