I guess some folks just don't have anything to do. So they sit around " Probably with adult beverages" . They brainstorm, or "brain fart" and come up with these days of..... Well, they need to adhere to this day and , I do hope they can find a matching pair. Today is the magical day to look in the hose zone layer for those missing socks...…… Otherwise they need to put a sock in it !
NATIONAL SOCK DAY
National Sock Day on December 4 recognizes the rarest of all lasting unities, the marriage of matched socks. When they manage to find each other, wash after wash, dry after to dry, it’s time to celebrate!
The founders of the celebration turned the tables on other sock holidays. Such individualism generated was out of control. Days like National No Sock Day on May 8th and National Lost Sock Day (for shame!) on May 9th were rebels.
In an effort to promote lasting sock matches, the observance dedicated the day to all pairs, even the tiny baby socks who manage to stay paired. We don’t know if it’s animal magnetism (static cling) or chemistry (something in the detergent), these sock pairs deserve recognition!
The day honors all matches made in laundromantic-matrimony. No color, style or size will be turned away. Argyle to tube socks, knee highs, and fuzzy slipper socks – if they keep finding their mate over and over, this National Day wiggles its toes in their honor!

NATIONAL SOCK DAY HISTORY
Pair of Thieves founded National Sock Day on December 4th to warm our toes with the commemoration of two toe-tapping historical events that happened on this day.
In 1954, the final curtain fell on the first revival of the Broadway musical On Your Toes. The Rogers and Hammerstein production first made its debut in 1936. It was unique in that it incorporated ballet with a traditional musical genre. The popular musical was revived in 1984.
The second historical event occurred in 1991. On the stage of the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee the Judds took the stage for their final concert. For years, the mother-daughter duo had kept country music lovers two-stepping. Following the concert, daughter Wynonna continued a solo career. From time to time, as Wynonna’s career resumed successfully, mother Naomi would join her on stage. However, the Murphy Center concert is still considered the Judd’s final show.
