Hey y’all! Are y’all ready for the holidays? I know I am! I’ve been busy getting my decorations up and planning my gifts for my loved ones. But, I came across something online that I just had to share with y’all. Have y’all heard of the game “You’ve Been Socked”? It’s a fun and easy game to play with your family and friends during the holidays. And, lucky for y’all, there are some free printables available online to help make the game even more festive!
Socking It to You
So, how does “You’ve Been Socked” work? It’s actually pretty simple. Basically, you secretly leave a pair of Christmas socks (filled with goodies, if you’d like) on someone’s doorstep, ring the doorbell, and RUN. Attached to the socks should be a note that explains the rules of the game:
You’ve Been Socked! This Christmas game is all in good fun, so don’t be a Grinch and please don’t spoil your own surprise! To keep the game going, please hang these socks on your front door, and make sure to leave a little something inside when you pass it on to someone else! Happy Holidays!
The goal of the game is to continue the socks’ journey around your neighborhood or group of friends, spreading holiday cheer and making people smile. And, of course, everyone gets to keep the socks and goodies they receive.

Now, onto the fun part - the free printables! I found a bunch of them online that y’all can use to really make the game festive and personalized. Here are some of my favorites:
