does anyone make ladies thanksgiving socks?

I found X-mas and Halloween and even Hanukah but no thanks? I found some on a site called absolute socks, but it's just pumpkin and I say that as Halloween. Ironically, I am looking to buy for someone for Christmas but can not find a pair anywhere anyway ... Ideas?
