It has been brought to our attention that we've come to take certain oddities for granted. To wit: we've been so bombarded by the Santa Claus story and the stockings hung on the chimney with care, that we've only recently stopped to wonder how in the world people started hanging socks on their walls. —from the Powell's Books newsletter

I wore thick cotton socks to work this morning. You know, the morning we had that lovely deep mix of snow and ice water outside. Hanging socks over a fireplace sounds like a *wonderful* idea.
