As promised this post is about the Tacky Christmas Sweater Party that Sam and I went to on Saturday night at Steve and Amanda's house. It was really fun to all get together with people we have met before and people we just got to meet that night. The interesting thing to me is to see other people interpretations of what exactly is a tacky Christmas sweater. Many of us hit Goodwill in search of the perfect Christmas sweater. This was easier said then done, but all of us found something. Mike found an iron-on Christmas tree with blinking Christmas lights inserted.
That is Steve's foot in the picture. Sorry the whole thing is basically covered. Sam and I searched and searched for the perfect sweater and finally Saturday afternoon we hit the motherload (in women's wear). Sam's creation won the overall prize of the most tacky Christmas sweater. He had on a woman's sweater with Minnie and Mickey Mouse sewn in on the sides (complete with candy canes). He had a Santa shirt underneath and to top it off wore a slightly small Santa hat. Now that you can mentally see the picture here's the visual.
I wasn't tacky tacky, but I wouldn't wear the sweater normally, so it fit. Other people got creative and made their own. Lindsey attached ornaments to a sweater she's really didn't know how she got and then made John a snowman sweater from cotton balls and tissue paper. Creative I know! Way to go Lindsey. I voted for her to win, but Sam won. I got out voted. Anyways...we all chatted, Elaina got in a box all by herself
, we took pictures,
and then came the game. Catchphrase to be exact. This is when the fun happened. It was girls against boys and unfortunately (possible with some cheating mixed in) the boys won 2 out of 3 games. It was a sad defeat, but the girls still had a great time making fun of the boys and the boys had a great time...well..being boys I guess! :)
. The night ended with snow on our cars, but not on the grass or roads. I'll take it though. Snow is snow! It was a great night and a great way to start off the Christmas festivities for the week! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas if you do not hear from me before then!
