Our friends Emily and Chris were throwing a birthday/Christmas party for Chris 2 weekends before Christmas, so naturally the best theme in the world was a tacky x-mas sweater party. Since Matt and I do not really incorporate holiday themed clothing into our seasonal waredrobe, it was off to eBay we went to search for the best, worst sweaters we could find. Odd little fact about tacky x-mas sweaters... there was an uncommonly large frequency of sellers from Michigan. Who would have thought it (sarcasism, check).
So after several evenings of huddling around the computer laughing and snorting, we finally made our picks. Now, as I am with most things, I was in it to win it. I had heard through the grapevine that there was to be a winner. I was determined! So check out these beauties
Yes, those are lights you are seeing. I wasn't joking... in it to win it!! $8 on eBay. (And yes, for those of you who are wondering, Matt's sweater is technically for a woman. But doesn't that make it all the more funny?).
And here are some pics from the party. Tacky sweaters are always great for starting the party with a bang!

Patrick and Tristan are just drunk and dancing together. And Dave is busting a move in his classic 80's attire while dancing to Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". Yes, yes, it happened!
Me, Emily and Nikki doing our serious pose in our serious sweaters. We were feeling mid-western!
And finally, me and Lew (Emily's dad), the winners of best/worst sweater. Not only did I take it for the women, but I swept the competition with the most overall points. YES!!! Victory is mine!!

Love it. I was actually thinking that Lew's sweater was pretty awesome. Glad he was your co-christmas sweater champion.
