“Christmas is of course the perfect moment to look back on the ‘good old days’. My ultimate Christmas dream involves a little bit of personal effort and hey presto, this pair of socks is turned into a cuddly monkey. But I think I’ll leave that job to someone else. I suspect that a quick visit to the garage, where I hit myself hard on the thumb with a hammer will give me more Christmas feeling than the struggle that would be involved in turning this pair of socks into anything other than socks. On the other hand, if you are handy with needle and thread, I think I can guarantee that this pair of original ‘Rockford Red heel’ socks will be the key to your ultimate Merry Christmas. Have fun and don’t forget; post me a photograph of the finished product!”
