Let’s go look at the Christmas Lights! These socks remind me of driving through the town during the holidays and seeing all the Christmas lights and displays people have set in their yards and homes. Lighting up the night sky with all sorts of colored lights, reindeer stands, blow-up snowmen, and holly decorations.
