I’m 68. It was a real big deal getting new socks. Remember, back then...we mended them. Who does that today??
It's a rule.
What? I forget to clip my toenails sometimes.

It’s still a big deal in many families.Including mine.
In our house, it wouldn’t be Christmas for my child without a wrapped package of socks. The socks are an enduring symbol of lovingly gifting a need, and a reminder that the shiny toys are less important than the loving intent.
My child appreciated the gift of plain socks at Christmas increasingly more every year, as she has matured into a young adult.
This year, there won’t be much under the tree, but as long as there are socks, we will celebrate a very Merry Christmas!
I would always darn my socks (darn it, socks again).
