Toronto - On Thursday, November 8, the Guinness World Record for the largest Christmas stocking was set at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts. You may remember it as the Hummingbird Centre... or maybe the O'Keefe Centre.
The stocking's final length was measured at 27.46 metres (90 feet 1 inch) long and 11.3 metres (37 feet 1 inch) wide (heel to toe), shattering the old record established on Jan. 11, 2006 by shoppers and staff of the MetroCentre in Gateshead, UK which measured 19.25 metres (63 feet 2 inches) long and 8.23 metres (27 feet) wide (heel to toe).

The stocking was filled with toys to be donated to the Salvation Army, who hope to help make the Christmases of over 12,000 children in Toronto a little more merry and bright through its holiday toy drives.
