“Santa’s Stinky Socks”
On Christmas Eve I crept downstairs
Just to have a peek
And there was Santa on my chair
Warming up his feet
His shoes and socks were on the floor
When old Rudolph shouted ‘Please’
Hurry up we’ve work to do
And our hooves have started to freeze
So Santa jumped up quick and fast
Grabbed his things as he headed out the door
But he raced out to his sleigh
He dropped this sock onto my floor
Now when you visit our house
Just look what’s on our tree
It’s a very special Christmas sock
It belonged to Santa once – you see

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything.
