Ugly Christmas Sweater


MERRY Chirstmas!

I want to know when the first Ugly Christmas Sweater party occured. Now they're everywhere. I've personally been invited to three unique Ugly Christmas Sweater parties and have heard of at least two more.

This past weekend's was Emily/Katie/Kathryn's party and it was hilarious. April made a little trip out to America's Thrift Store and picked up a sweater for herself and a Christmas vest for me.

I hated them both. When did this atrocity begin?

i'm not sure, but i got invited to one myself. and the two dudes on the left look like they're wearing a shirt my mom made in the late 80s/early 90s. do they have puffy paint on them? are the sheep made of cloth? if so, it may be a brantley original. worth millions.

at least a couple years ago--jeff's brother in san francisco had one then. i wonder if it started on the west or east coast..

This will be the 4th year for ours. I thought it up, (not taking national credit, good/bad ideas occur to lots of people) coworkers at a restaurant were avid admirers for years, you know telling each other to "go check out table 302" I just said we should have a party and see who can show up in the ugliest one. We put money in at the door and vote later, someone ends up winning close to $100. It became an annual party, we try to change it up each year. For me this year it is a Red Hat Lady Christmas.
