In case you own a holiday sweater (or heaven forbid, MULTIPLE holiday sweaters), this is your wake up call!  Your call to repent.  Your call to action. 

Please raise your right hand and repeat after me:
Picture


"I will not wear holiday sweaters this or any future year.

Picture



I will not voluntarily assassinate my own style.

Picture



I realize I am over the age of 5 and will not attempt to dress like my toddler.

Picture



I will not offend the eyes of my fellow joyous citizens who I may pass by.

Picture



Should I be lucky enough to reach an old age when I am dressed by someone else,

Picture



and that someone attempts to dress me in a holiday sweater,

Picture



I will protest to my last breath.
And whack them with my cane."

These are the only folks allowed to wear holiday sweaters.  If you don't fit into one of these two groups, put the sweater down.

With one possible exception... The Ugly Holiday Sweater Party.  These little shindigs have been gaining in popularity in recent years and frankly, I think it's worth keeping around one of these monstrosities.  If you don't see one of these parties on the horizon - throw your own!  It'll be worth it to see these things come out of the woodwork on your friends and neighbors.  Where else are you going to get to cherish moments like this one...

just one of the many party images to be found
My family used to carol on Christmas Eve in snowman motif sweaters.  Many of us got married, leaving too few sweaters on hand, and so they were mercifully replaced with matching scarves. 

By the way, if you want to have a little fun, check out virtual holiday sweaters.  Spread some joy with a little competition to see who can come up with the ugliest design!

Happy Saturday SITS!

Very very funny post. Yeah holiday sweaters are hideous. I don't know why people insist on wearing them since you can actually find ways to look pretty cute during the holidays.

I know quite a few people who need to take your anti scary sweater oath.
