I really like getting socks for a Christmas present, but this boy does not. This book is based on songwriter JD McPherson’s Christmas song, “Socks.”  A young boy sneaks down the stairs early Christmas morning and launches into a funny rant when he discovers socks in his package. But when his family joins him all wearing the same type of socks he realizes that perhaps there are more important Christmas gifts than what’s inside the packages. Cartoonist Annika Orrock adds humorous illustrations which enhances the story. IMHO there are much funnier and better Christmas books available, but it’s not awful.
