So I ask you this: Why are there still people (mostly women over 40) wearing tacky ass Xmas sweaters? How don't they know? It's like people that have mullets. Don't they know that everyone thinks they look like a fool? I think there should be a website where you can submit a photo of yourself and what you wear and professionals can tell you if you look like an asshole.
And I would like to see video of people picking out these sweaters. Holding them up to themselves. Turning sideways. Looking in the mirror. "I think there should be seven reindeer. Six just looks weird." Do they walk to the counter to pay with pride? Excited to wear the sweater? Bragging to the cashier, "It was only $12,99."
And on the subject of Xmas and having no taste I'll give you a tip for decorating: Less is more. And inflatables? Don't put them on your lawn like this dude in my neighborhood that has ten of them. Snoopy, Santa, turning carousel... Knock it off!
I know some of you have inflatables.
ReplyDeleteInflatables dont even count as decoration....
ReplyDeleteI have a strange hard on for crazy Christmas sweaters....I do not own one, but I am fascinated with them, and I do stop, and pick them up, and hold them against me, and I state how cute it would look with my skinny jeans and black Dr. Martins...
I cannot explain it, it just is.
Choleesa haha! Whenever i see someone wearing one i need to stare and examine it. Taking the design in.
DeleteCrazy enough, my friend looked everyone for an ugly Christmas sweater this year to wear to an ugly Christmas sweater party but came up empty handed. Good thing my Mom has bad taste and gives me one every year for Christmas. I'm always good for a loaner.
ReplyDeleteJust keepin it real - post a picture!!
ReplyDeleteI always Just assumed that their grandkids bought them the sweater. I know I look ridiculous decked out in the things my kids buy for me, but I go out in public with out a second thought in all kinds of nutsy outfits and accessories.
ReplyDeleteHappy momma i think they buy them for themselves. But lets see the outfits your kids buy for you.
DeleteI hate those inflatable decorations. I know. To each his own but at least keep the damn things inflated the whole time. I mean, am I the only one who sees them as crumpled laundry on the front lawn during the day?
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with that jumper... just like the one I'm wearing now... ;-)
ReplyDeleteMiddle child - my kids and i call them xmas sadness.
ReplyDeleteFurtheron - yeah but it looks good on you.
Oy. My mom has sweaters like that. So did my grandma. Christ, I hope it's not a genetic thing! If you ever catch me wearing one in my old age, slap me. Please.
ReplyDeleteCora i just checked. It is genetic.
DeleteMerry Christmas Jim.
ReplyDeleteDiane you too!
