      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?

      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
