What is National Sock Day?

The marriage of matched socks, which is one of the rarest of all lasting marriages, is commemorated on December 4th. It's time to celebrate when they find each other, wash after wash, dry after to dry.

The celebration's founders turned the tables on other sock holidays. Such individualism was out of place. On May 8th, National No Sock Day and National Lost Sock Day, as well as National Lost Sock Day (for shame!) on May 9th were rebels.

The observance dedicated the day to all pairs, as well as the tiny baby socks that manage to remain paired, helps to ensure long sock matches. These sock pairs are worthy of praise, but we don't know if it's animal magnetism (static cling) or chemistry (something in the laundry).

The day honors all matches played in laundromantic-matrimony. We will turn no color, style, or size away. So, 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.
