JJ and I Sock It To Ya

JJ and I both received socks in our Christmas stockings. Each bore a message pertinent to the recipient. We tried them on together. Of course, I put mine on backwards, which led to mirth. Here I am in the process of rectifying my stupidity.

I got it right eventually. 

The message is apt in each case. I am the Coke guy, and JJ is the Skittles guy.

JJ's feet are bigger than mine although mine might seem bigger because they are closer to the camera. I do not have large feet for my height. Speaking of height, I am still taller than the lad, but he's still only 15, so I may lose that bragging right in days to come.

While I am at it, let me share two other gifts: first the hoodie.

You would think that a 77-year-old grandfather wouldn't be into sports team attire. Well, you'd be wrong.

The other item is on my head in the photo below as it was in the first pic in the post.

What a fine cap for Christmas! Don't you love the curve of the peak? It's a great cap.

While I have other caps, both for summer and for winter, I wanted a nice, dark, winter-weight cap. It's quite warm although sans earflaps it won't suffice for the very coldest of winter days. It replaces the one that went floating down the river a few years ago. 

By the way, Jonathan is also wearing new, Christmas duds. Unlike some boys his age, he doesn't mind getting clothes for Christmas. That being said, they must meet certain rigorous criteria.
