Now, I know many of you enjoy your Christmas sweaters. I know the little decorations make it even more festive. However, I am sorry to inform you that they are just as hideous as those 'reindeer sweaters' we all made fun of in the '70's! I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they should be banned and all remaining ones be destroyed.
Now, to those of us who are not fans of the monstrosities, we will have to find something new to make fun of. But being that many of us are cynics, it shouldn't be hard to find a new target. Just so that we are all clear, if you own one, it has been made fun of by your friends, colleagues, and family.
Recently I went to a training where the presenter was indeed wearing one of these...things. I have no idea what she was saying as I spent the entire time making cracks about her wardrobe. And to make matters worse, it was from the '80's! Yes folks, if you own any clothes from the '80's I assure you it is time to LET IT GO!! And if you're not sure...the shoulder pads are a dead giveaway. Yep, you guessed it, the presenter not only had a Christmas sweater on, but it also had shoulder pads. I mean, how is anyone supposed to take a person serious when they dress like that? And I want to say that there may have been kittens on the sweater. I totally remember the tree with 'tinsel' woven into the sweater. That one provided hours of entertainment. Do you really want to provide this much entertainment for others around you? I didn't think so.

So take this little beauty. I know, I can hear some of you asking, "What's wrong with that?" "It's festive" "It's cute". I assure you, this is neither festive nor cute. In fact, it screams, "I'M A FRUMPY MIDDLE AGED HOUSEWIFE". No, you do not need to be a middle aged housewife to wear one. There are plenty who are wearing these...things. Young, old, married, single, straight, lesbian....No matter what you are, you are screaming, "I'M A FRUMPY MIDDLE AGED HOUSEWIFE".
So to sum up this post...Christmas sweaters are bad, EVERYONE makes fun of them, they scream, "I'M A FRUMPY MIDDLE AGED HOUSEWIFE", and well, you should just get rid of them.
And if you are a friend reading this, I love you, just not your holiday sweaters...sorry.
