'TIS THE SEASON FOR HOLIDAY SOCKS AND TIGHTS!

As we get closer and closer to Christmas, many of us are scrambling to get our holiday plans and holiday shopping completed. We're yearning to relax and take a little time to bask in front of a fireplace blazing with light or sit around the tree watching the family's favorite Christmas specials on TV. We want to stay indoors with a mug of cocoa or eggnog, but most of the time it seems like we're running around in the cold and snow hitting retail stores or the post office or the fancy wine importers or of course the grocery store. With so much to do out in the winter weather, it can be nice to take care of the last bit of your holiday shopping in the comfort of your own home. You can put your comfy pants on, curl up with a blanket, and get a few of those last-minute stocking stuffers and presents for friends and family that can take up so much time if you had to go to individual stores for them. Regular readers of this blog will know what we here at Foot Traffic think socks and tights make ideal holiday gifts for the whole family. Yep—socks and tights are never unappreciated, never unnecessary. You don't even have to worry if they'll fit or not! So make yourself a nice cup of tea, gather your last-minute holiday shopping list, and let's get to work. You Can Stuff Stockings with Stockings! Did you know that many parents follow the gift-giving guideline that when it comes to presents under the tree, kids get "something they want, something they need, something they can wear, and something they can read?" Finding wearable gifts can be difficult, especially for older kids and teenagers who would probably prefer a gift card to something selected by a parent. But if there's one thing everyone loves regardless of age or gender, it's socks! Holiday socks for men, women and kids are great to fill holiday stockings. You can of course give your kids regular socks to wear to school, soccer practice, or wherever else, but you can also stuff their stockings with holiday and fun socks! Our kids' Gingerbread Socks will be adorable on their feet as they open their presents and run around the house. Our Tree-Rex dinosaur socks are great for the dino enthusiasts, and our Baaaah Humbug Socks are a perfect gift for the Scrooge in your life (everyone has one). Holiday Cheer Can Last All Year Socks and tights of every color of the rainbow are great gifts to place under the tree or tuck into a stocking, but even holiday socks are fun to wear all year round. While it might seem shortsighted to give holiday socks on Christmas day, sometimes people need a little holiday cheer all throughout the year. And if you're really worried about it, our Penguin Slipper Socks are great any time it feels like the Antarctic in your house. Our Red and White Thigh Highs are just enough elf, even after Christmas. Send Them Back to Work and School with a Smile We all know that these days the holiday season practically starts the day after Halloween—if stores even wait that long. It seems like there isn't really a Thanksgiving season anymore. Christmas has taken over by then, and the hullaballoo reaches maximum Yuletide merriment at the end of December. Even if you love the long holiday season, it's true that after the gifts have been unwrapped, the fruitcake has been picked over, and the lights are turned out, it can be a bit of a bummer to return to normal life. Even if you celebrate all twelve days of Christmas, at some point you have to get back to the real world. You go back to work, and the kids go back to school, so why not take a little holiday cheer with you? A pair of Snowman Socks will carry you through the holiday season! Brighten Up Those Gray Winter Days Winter is still very much ahead of us. While we may sing "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" or "[I'm Dreaming of a] White Christmas," the truth is, winter really seems to set in every year after the tinsel is in the bin and the tree has been carted away. The temperatures drop, and after we've given up on our January resolutions, February can seem pretty bleak. It's cold and slushy and gray, and most of us are counting down the days until we see the first signs of spring. Well, nothing brightens up a day or a season like brightly colored socks! Whether you can't resist breaking out a festive holiday pair to bring some whimsy to a long, cold day, or you just want to break out a fun and funky pair of tights or socks from Foot Traffic, socks can make you feel like spring is on the horizon instead of weeks or months away. They're So Much More Than Holiday Socks and Tights As we said above, Foot Traffic doesn't just have holiday socks to give and cherish this winter! We have all sorts of socks, stockings, footless tights, leggings, and more. We even have slipper socks for wearing around the house! As you finish your holiday shopping, come on over to our website and see what's available. You'll be amazed by our dazzling selection of novelty socks, toe socks, microfiber fuzzy socks, socks for men, socks for kids, and legwear.
