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?

Brought to energetic life in droll, retro artwork by Anika Orrock, who illustrated the album cover and liner, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocks\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\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.
