Welcome to the Laundry Room
Dear Friend,
We hope you enjoy our magical misfit sock tradition! Believe it or not, the tradition was born on our laundry room floor when our daughters McKenna, Madison, Emma, and Rosie were very young.
The girls wondered how so many "misfit" socks could lose their perfect match in the laundry cycle? As our “misfit” sock pile grew, the girls grew more worried for the socks, believing that they were truly sad and lonely.
Honestly, we didn’t give it much thought until Christmas approached and we sat down to read the story behind the origin of the Christmas stocking. That tale was our gift that Christmas.
Popular legend tells of a poor father who had no money for his three daughters to marry. St. Nicholas heard the father’s worry, and one night he crept down their chimney and dropped three bags of precious gold, one for each daughter, into the three stockings hanging by the fire. The gift of gold symbolized hope and prosperity for the future.
We realized we could offer our "misfit”sock collection as precious gifts of hope and joy. So we dumped our pile of socks on the dining room table to decorate with felt, buttons, and glitter, and stuff with reindeer carrots, jingle bells, candy, holiday notes and recipes.
We wrapped the newly joyful socks with big red ribbons and hung them on neighbors’ doorknobs on Christmas Eve morning.
Over a decade and countless misfit socks shared, we're sharing this tradition with you. Your misfit sock is meant to be loved, decorated, and stuffed with Christmas wishes and wonderful treats on Christmas Eve. After Santa enjoys the sock, he knows to leave it with you for years to come.
