Christmas Sweaters: Part of a Continuing Series*
Comments
Christmas sweaters are the worst…those ones with the Santa faces and stocking on them split into quarters red/white/red/white. Yeeessh. I nearly lost my composure singing front line in my choir when in the front row there was someone with one of those sweaters on that had Santa beards stuck on it - probably homemade. But the Santa faces didn’t have eyes or noses - just beards so it looked a bit like Cousin It. I couldn’t look at her while singing or I’d have lost it! I look forward to you book on this…wink wink.
GG, I laughed out loud. I have seen sweaters with blinking lights (worn by women of a certain age) and was fearful I would see the “Betty Boop” spinning eyes
at any moment. What a riot. The Christmas sweater is out of control—- just like the red hatters who may actually be worse because they celebrate every season wearing their monstrosities. Merry Christmas.
I admit that I was invited to a horrible Christmas sweater party and couldn’t bear that thought of laying out even a quarter for one of these abominations. Like you, I adore Christmas, but to bedeck myself in one of these holiday sweaters is just too much. To wear these bedazzled garments with their jolly Santas and snowmen (and with a pair of stretch waisted black slacks and a white turtleneck) is an aesthetic atrocity I just can’t commit, even in jest.
