The older you get, the more excited you get for socks as a present.

Yeah! Who's getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃

If people ask for gift hints I often say "fun socks!"

I get tired of it, because I don’t need socks every year. My stuff lasts. I end up with too many socks. It’s like buying me a new pair of shoes or something. Like uh no, those last me 3-5 years. Those are utilitarian purchases that are made less often

Exactly. Thought it dumb when I was younger, but now it's a great thing!
Makes me wonder how old OP is?

My dad gets us happy socks for Christmas lately, it's awesome. I don't need to buy socks anymore

Fuck, I must be old then. I love socks as a present

For awhile that was the case for me, but now I buy fairly expensive toe socks and I don't want my family spending that kind of money on me

Honestly the best gift I get from them during the holidays is them still associating with me

So many of them cut me out of their lives when they found out I was queer

I went from family gatherings with 50+ people like 7 or 8 times a year to gatherings of 3-6 people twice a year
