Crazy Talk and Sometimes Socks
I've really enjoyed every pair of the holiday-themed socks I've worn this month, to the point that I'm thinking about maybe repeating the "new socks every day" thing next year when we hit The Season again. And, yes, in case you hadn't guessed already, that does mean -- without equivocation -- that The Great 2018 … Continue reading Getting Feral About Fair Isle
Christmas. Argyle. Is there anything else I really need to say? I'm pretty sure there in't. As if the holiday series of socks hasn't been one of the awesomest themes of the year, I've made no bones about the fact that argyle is the clear winner as far as wearing a favorite pattern, period. So … Continue reading The Top Of My 2018 Preferences
This is without question the most difficult pair of socks to get a decent photo of in all of 2018. It's hard to tell fire this but they read "Oh, Snow, You Didn't", and I took no less than 10 shots trying to get just one that did them justice. I'm not sure this one … Continue reading Snow, You Better Not Have
Santas on snowmen and puppy dog glances Jim Carrey's Grinch making me pray for eye lances Fuming that Die Hard is good but not right These are the thoughts that I'm having tonight. These Santas are older than each pair this year For nigh 30 years they've been bringing me cheer Bought them from Kmart, … Continue reading Socks And Rhymes: Coping When Trapped With An Awful Grinch
These cool snowman socks...
The tree is all decked out with plenty of gifts now, and I'm glad to show that my feet were equivalently holiday-ready today. In fact, I really like this pair as far as socks for the season go. Not only are they really comfortable, but they remind me of a day spent frollicking in a … Continue reading Socking In A Temperate Wonderland
As I believe I mentioned at some point, not every single pair of this year's socks is a new one. This is one of the few "fun" socks I've had since long before I decided I was going to try to some wacky scheme to wear only some different, interesting stuff on my feet every … Continue reading Monday Mickey Musings
Daughter played the role of Cratchit today in "Bah, Humbug," a music theater adaptation of A Christmas Carol (which may, in fact, be my favorite piece of Christmas storytelling in literary history). Her mean ole dad -- that's is, me -- would never admit it, but there might have even been a little moisture in … Continue reading I’ll Drink His Health, For Your Socks, And The Day’s Socks, But Not For His
Knowing what I know about the new likes and followers I've picked up since beginning the Great Sockscapades Of 2018, I have to admit that this particular pair gave me a moment's pause this morning while considered the holiday collection in my drawer. But, hey, if the wife gets you a pair of socks that … Continue reading Questionable Holiday Sock Decisions
It seems a little weird to say, but it's a sad fact that to my recollection, I have never seen any production of The Nutcracker in person. I say it's weird because I feel like usually it's the kind of thing kids go to see on field trips before winter break. Either that or they … Continue reading Wearing All These Holiday Socks Means You Gotta Be A Little Bit Nuts
