There lies a festive box, brightly wrapped, with their name on it. A shake for good measure, and then . . . wait, seriously? What did they ever do to deserve this? Based on the cult classic \"Socks\" (from his eponymous Christmas album), bluesy rock and roller JD McPherson pays hilarious homage to a stereotypically bad gift--and its disappointed recipients--in a deftly extended picture-book version of his song. Brought to energetic life in droll, retro artwork by Anika Orrock, who illustrated the album cover and liner, \u003ci\u003eSocks \u003c\/i\u003ewill prove a perfect fit for anyone who has ever gotten stressed over holiday gift-giving--and everyone, big or small, who's come to appreciate the love wrapped up in even the humblest present.
