Why do we use a Red Sock for X'mas presents?

Someone asked in a forum...why do we use Red Socks during Christmas to put presents in...

This is my take:


In the beginning...

Santa Claus was a poor boxer who was called Sam The Claws...

He fought a lot of bouts but he could not win.

The reason he turned into a boxer was because he had no money to support his aging parents

Then one fine day, he managed to find a good trainer called Rudolph

Rudolph saw Sam in the alleys, barefooted and dejected

So Rudolph gave Sam a pair of red thick socks for him to keep his feet warm

And Rudolph took him in

Rudolph trained him till he was the best fighter

Sam The Claws became a legend and when he won the championship belt

Sam The Claws retired

But before he could repay Rudolph for his kindness

Rudolph died from eating poisoned meat from a deer hunter called Snort Man

Sam was devastated..and he decided to quit boxing

He went home and saw the pair of red socks that was lying on his old bag

He took the socks, went to a kids home and placed all his money inside

He walked away...but one of the nurses, an avid boxing fan saw him walk away

and said

Sam The Claws!

The kids heard the nurse shout out and one of them happened to see the red socks full of money

And that little kid with a lisp said

San ta Claws left uth a present

And everyone smiled and was happy because everyone was able to buy cold weather clothes and a toy for each for the winter

It was December 25th

From that day onwards, Santa Claus became legend...and red socks were used to commemorate his generosity...
