Ugly Sweaters & White Elephant Gifts

I recently hosted an

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.

It was so fun to see what the girls came up with to wear!

Remember, if you can't find a ready-made sweater,

you can always create your own like Lisa did.

The theme of her sweater was the song,

"Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" . . . 

She even attached a cup to her sweater because the song says,

". . . She'd been drinking too much eggnog."

WOW!

For my own ugly sweater, I just bought a sweatshirt 
at the thrift store & sewed stuff on it. I used tinsel garland, pom-poms, & a cut-up snowman stocking.

Don't forget to use some gaudy *accessories* to 

complete your look!

Christmasy headbands, candy cane earrings, &
stockings can make your ensemble look
even more festive.

At another party,
we had a great time laughing it up about the
White Elephant gifts.

How about a belly button lint brush?

Or Spam {complete with recipes for how to prepare it.}

Or useful gifts like this . . . 

Ha ha ha ha.
