While National No Socks Day was created as a way to consciously connect more deeply with the earth under our feet, we here in Red Sox Nation can take off our socks while delighting in the knowledge that the whole country is celebrating the Sox today — whether they know it or not.
Fun!
Socks seem to have been invented by the ancient Greeks (another one in their Win column) by at least the eighth century BCE. The Romans, who loved to do what the Greeks had already done, also were notable sock-wearers, wrapping strips of fabric around their legs.
