Why coal?

In ' Toy-Makers strike, which was written by Ruth Carine Wood in 1918, she talks about how Santa's elves go on strike and a naughty boy gets a huge doll and a sweet little girl ends up with a lump of coal. Similarly, in Myron ams' 1912 short story "A Prince of Good Fellows," fact that a good-hearted boy named Tom receives coal in his stocking les to confusion.
reason Santa Clause gives coal to naughty kids is that Santa Clause comes down chimneys and while looking around he finds lumps of coal and n sticks it in naughty kid's stockings, according to Brian Horrigan of Minnesota History Center.
