#HappyBirthday to the #May15 #BirthdayCohort (with @Madeleine #MadeleineAlbright & @EmmittSmith22 & ... you?) on #NationalStockingsDay | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass

So I had a post that I rewrote everyday to replace 'yesterday's birthday-cohort' with 'today's birthday-cohort' (so you can see whose birthday-cohort you're a member-of). One day I asked myself, 'Why don't I just do an entry for every day (with that day's cohort & holidays & maybe its event-anniversaries)?'

That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like May 15's National #Stockings Day ... and all the other holidays at the 'holidays and event-anniversaries'-link above.

There's a selection of stockings linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Stockings” is built on ancient words that mean |Trunk, Log (Stock ... because of the resemblance between people's legs & tree-trunks, or with reference to 'punishing stocks' (where people were trapped in the public square, immobilized as passersby insulted them & threw rotten food at them)).
