I used a different type of search engine - my mom's head - she said when my Grandma was young getting an orange was a rare deal so it was a really special treat to get one. So small treats go in stockings back then they got oranges and guess it just became a tradition.
thats very close to what my source (mother in law) says as well. something along the lines that during christmas in the past it has been hard to get fresh fruit, so it was a treat to get one when it was hard to import. I imagine during the depression things were really hard to get so that may have something to do with it as well.
