As kids, everyone loves Christmas stockings. They’re always full of treats which, in hindsight probably only pointlessly contributed toward global warming and the death of the planet as we know it, but at the time seemed quite excellent. A little pink sticker set? Joy! Plastic animals? Super! More candy than your stomach can humanly hold? But of course!
For some adults, Christmas stockings are now an entirely different proposition. Instead of gleefully feasting their eyes on the fuzzy felt oversized sock nailed to the mantlepiece, some men now feast their senses on the delicate nylon of hosiery.
