@booger saidMaybe they were running on automatic under the pressures of the season, or maybe they do care about you and would like to maintain ties even if the comm lines have been down -- and decided on some perhaps universally practical gifts for a guy of western society (and of course imagined that you wear undies and socks, which do wear out over time), without really knowing what might delight or surprise you pleasantly in any category because of the aforesaid comm lines being down.
That's what I got for Christmas.
It's a way of saying...we hate you... I reckon 🤔

@kewpie saidHmm. Speaking as a guy who buys his own underwear (and socks), I always find it creepy to see women browsing in the men's underwear section at the same time as me. Although I guess I could make an effort to understand their POV. Thank you.
Socks and underwear are what women buy for men who get whatever toys they want whenever they want them. Women also know if men go to buy socks and underwear they'll come home with a lot of other stuff like drones and game stuff, but they'll have forgotten to buy the socks and underwear.
@kevin-eleven saidYes very much so 😁

E.G. -- If I were one of your relatives, I'd probably get you a $10 variety pack of hot sauces from Big Lots, because that seems like something you would appreciate and maybe even find a use for.
@woodgirl saidWe have what we need, Woodgirl, and that's much to be grateful for. In our family we don't celebrate traditional Christmas so each time is different from the year before. This Christmas Eve only the children had presents and then we dined out, at a pub actually, Bishop Arms. We are very pleased with this solution.
I gave my son and ex husband packs of socks this year. My son also got a pack of beer. I’m on a lower income having retired and still needing to support a relative. We make ends meet, we have a nice warm home and good food and are all relatively happy.
