Tacky Threads


Each year around this time, I hear about something called an "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party". It sounded hilarious and was something that needed to be done. My friend Krissy and I decided to give it a try. It was a night full of cheesy sweaters, eggnog, prom-style photos, a hilarious white elephant gift exchange and a few good friends. Some of the highlights for me were:

Jake Muir's feather sweater (sweater contest winner)
Weston Nielson's cropped, hot pink, sequined snowman number
Kristian Peterson and his beloved elf boxers/hat won in the gift exchange
Mandy Newbold with the white elephant steal of the night
Krissy's faux red and green clip-in hair braids
Peter's ugly "buddy" elf I sewed on his sweater
Watching everyone take "Olan Mills" type photos
Laughing at each sweater as it first walked into the room

It was a fun night and a successful experiment... I'll have more pictures to post later. I am excited to do this again next year and maybe I'll be able to find that hideous mustard-colored pooping reindeer sweater for the second go-around. More to come...

Wow, those are some 'pretty' sweaters! Looks like we missed a good time. Hopefully you'll invite us again next year and we won't have prior obligations. Looks like a great time!
