the uglier the sweater, the better the party

this month has put me in such a great mood, and all I really want to do with every free moment I have is watch Hallmark Christmas movies, wrap presents, and drink hot chocolate (which is admittedly exactly what I have been doing). on Friday, Kendrick and I attended our very first Christmas party of the season- his family's annual ugly sweater/white elephant soiree. now, this is not your typical wrap-up-any-junk-in-the-house white elephant gift exchange. there are high expectations with this one, and bringing something truly hilarious and border-line risque is mandatory.

this year's party did not disappoint- we were laughing our heads off at every gift opened! my favorite was probably the poor sucker who opened up a gift bag to find a plastic bag full of goldfish, a bag of Sun Chips, and a note that said "enjoy your fish and chips". also, apparently the couple who got the gold fish also received a gerbil in the exchange a previous year... so they must have quite the pet collection accumulating at home.

unfortunately, Kendrick and I didn't get too creative with our sweaters this year, and just threw on the ones we wore last year. However, after seeing Chase and Karissa's... we're ready to bring our A-game next year.



'tis the season!
