I still have vivid recollections of my Grandma helping me carry my small sailing dinghy across the road and into the creek at 4am!!! Have you ever sailed up and down a creek in complete darkness?? Exhilerating!!
Oh yeah, I also got some socks AND undies a few years ago...close comparison but just didn't have the same 'WOW' factor!!!
I wouldn't complain about socks. In fact, this year I complained when I didn't get socks, pants and deoderant. I rely on it. I don't want to spend my hard earned student loan on essentials when there is perfectly good beer sitting in a tap somewhere!
