Christmas Sweaters

My friend Tia and I also talked about Christmas sweaters today because we were at a holiday party and there was some Christmas attire being worn.

We decided that holiday ties are appropriate for men as long as they are not too flashy and over the top, i.e., they don't light up or play music. And they are also appropriate when worn with a long-sleeve button down. No tie is appropriate when worn with a short-sleeve button down on a man. It's just as bad a look as inappropriately short khaki shorts that men in the south seem to love.

We decided that sweaters dawned in Christmas elements are really just plain tacky. We vowed to never wear them. We also decided that Christmas sweaters worn over a Christmas turtleneck is even more tacky than either item by itself.

In essence, Christmas sweaters are generally inappropriate and we don't like them. We sure do like to make fun of them, though, and they will always serve this purpose.
