"Ugly" Christmas attire

Be sure and read my last post to see what a great Christmas we had around here. I stated in that post that I thought we had forgotten to take photos of our "ugly" Christmas attire, but I found them still on the camera so here they are.
I asked if we could do an ugly sweater event for our Christmas. Well, my idea was met with no interest on anyone else's part. We decided instead to do an "ugly" accessory for the person whose name we had for the gift exchange. The accessory could be anything as long as it was ugly in the eyes of the giver.
Here is the ugly attire in no particular order. John got this Santa shirt and a Christmas monocle from Paul. Paul made the monocle himself.



Courtney got these very ugly earmuffs from Nathan.


I gave Paul these nice jingle bell boxers.


Courtney made this headband for Alissa. I think it was one of the less ugly items exchanged.



I gave Nathan this ugly crocheted skirt.


We all did agree it suited him better as a cape.


Alissa made me some very ugly earrings as well as a Peter Pan color she fashioned out of a tiny tree skirt, bells, and poinsettias.


I think this "ugly" thing will become an annual event. We all had a got a good laugh out of it!




Be sure and read the previous post since I put it up at the same time as this one.

The idea WAS a hit as we actually all participated. The monicle was was named "The christmas Monicle of Truth. Kid Christmas was trining in our basement for his next match against The Atheist Goon.

I'm catching up on your blog and must say this "ugly" idea did appear to be a hit. I got a good laugh with the pics and agree Nathan's "skirt" looks better as a cape.
