There is something so magical about Christmas Eve. The anticipation of waiting for Santa, the excitement of celebrating and the possibility of snow! Whatever age we are, we still search the dark night skies for a glimpse of Santa riding his sleigh or to see if a festive snowfall might appear. These socks are an homage to this much anticipated time and are a perfect treat for wearing by the Christmas tree or even as a celebratory Christmas Eve knitting cast on.
