Anyone else find Christmas socks pointless?

I have some lovely Christmas socks but I wear slippers all the time at home so they aren't visible & obviously they can't be seen when I'm out Grin

Sometimes I wear them anyway just for me Xmas Smile

I don't wear slippers, I wear socks in the house. I don't have any Christmas socks to show off though Xmas Grin

Nah, I'm going to be wearing socks anyway so they might as well be festive.

I pull them right up over the top of skinny jeans so that even with boots on or slipper boots they can be seen. It's a great look [grins]

Whoops Grin fail. Blush

MIL doesn't allow shoes indoors so if we go round over Christmas/New Year we always wear a nice pair of Christmas socks seeing as they are on display the whole time we're there. I also wear them to baby classes in December (I always remove my shoes are it's a muddy walk there and back).

If you never go anywhere where people see your feet I can see why they would be pointless to you.

For me it's Christmas earrings that are pointless. I end up buying a new pair (just cheap ones) every year as I'm not able to find the old ones. Where do they go? I must have a stockpile somewhere!

That's what I'll do this year, thanks for the tip (but it'll be leggings, I'm not sure skinny jeans will be comfy all day with my lock down weight gain Xmas Grin)

Nooo, Christmas socks are a necessity.

Stompythedinosaur · 23/12/2020 00:17

I have some grinch socks. They make me smile even if no one else knows I have them on.

Scarby9 · 23/12/2020 00:28

I wear them for me!

ZenNudist · 23/12/2020 00:34

Dc wear their Christmas socks (gifts) all year round. Might as well get the wear out. No one sees.

Holothane · 23/12/2020 00:55

Christmas socks all through December.

NoGoodPunsLeft · 24/12/2020 07:38

I've got a pair on today & another for tomorrow, it's a bit like wearing nice underwear, I know it's there but no one else does Xmas Grin

Getting them for presents is pointless. You’re dressed when you open presents, so when can you wear them? And you put them away and forget them next year.

MawkishHawk · 24/12/2020 07:42

I find Christmas socks as a Christmas present pretty pointless, by the time you have them you’ve hardly any time left to wear them! So they sit in the sock drawer all year until you remember you have them a few days before the next Christmas Xmas Grin

MawkishHawk · 24/12/2020 07:43

Haha snap!

Christmas socks are vital, whether visible or not. Choosing to put them on is an essential part of the jollification process.

wanderings · 24/12/2020 09:04

Here's a game to play: with the teenage trend of wearing sliders and socks, see if you can spot any wearing their Christmas jumpers (socks) on their feet. It's harder this year with not being out so much, and the wet weather, but possible.
