    Wait. Are oranges as stocking stuffers based on something? I always thought my folks did it because oranges are healthy.

      What I always heard is that it’s because oranges used to be seasonal: until the invention of reefers (refrigerated boxcars, not marijuana), they could only be shipped from Florida to the population centers up north without spoiling during the winter.
