Warmth, protection, hygiene.

If you were born the only person on earth, you would eventually have something like socks on your own accord. This is function, not social. They wouldn't be Xmas themed though, since no society exists to have invented Xmas and to show off your socks to.

Social constructs are, by definition, ideas or concepts.
