A few weeks ago, my friend Leesa (top right pic), asked me if I'd ever been to an "Ugly Sweater Party"--I replied that I hadn't but insisted she tell me more (wouldn't you be curious, too?). She explained that everyone comes to the party wearing their ugliest sweater (or the ugliest they can find, thankyouverymuch local goodwill stores!). I thought it was such a fun idea, so we decided to host one together!
Her place is PERFECT for parties...I sent out about 30 invites and started hunting for my very own UGLY SWEATER.
Unfortunately, the pics really don't do the ugliness justice--especially Leesa's (who we all voted had the ugliest of all!). Mine *could* be cute...except the top part is crazy big & there are sequins along the chest area.
Niiiiice.
We all brought tasty treats (notice the mound of cucumber sandwiches that Trevor helped me to put together), enjoyed giggling at each other's ugliness and enjoyed a white elephant gift exchange (of the gag gift genre) while sipping warm wassail and hot chocolate...YUM.O.
It was an awesome night in, just girls.
I just love the theme idea, don't you?

HA! Some people in our neighborhood have an annual "Neck n' Nog" party. Everyone buys a nasty grandma christmas sweater at D.I. and wears a turtleneck under it, an walks around sipping hot cocoa and saying things like, "You look faaaabulous, daaaaarling".
Best ideas for a christmas party ever, I think.
By the way, your sweater actually works. I like it.
