A Salute to Christmas Sweaters!
My name is Linda….and I used to wear Christmas sweaters. When I unpacked these napkins recently, it brought to mind the fact that not only had I worn tacky Christmas sweaters in the past, but that “the past” was within the last ten years. Big shivery shudder.
So, last night, I combed through old photos to see just exactly what my Christmas sweater fixation had been like. And, in the interest of healing this old wound, I’m sharing these photos with you. I know you’d never share them with anyone else. Right?
This is the most recent. I think I was trying to hip things up a bit. I mean, it IS a vest, not a sweater. And, those giant Christmas trees covering it? Well, those are not really very hip.
This might have been one of my earliest ventures into the world of Christmas sweaters. I kind of had one foot in and one out, so to speak. The sweater is red (a very popular Christmas sweater color) and it is covered with black reindeer (another popular Christmas sweater motif). But, you can tell that I’m just a Christmas sweater newbie here — I haven’t even begun to reach my full Christmas sweater potential. And the other thing? My niece seems better dressed than I.
Here is one of my favorites — the Christmas cardigan. I’m almost positive that I was wearing black stirrup pants with this sweater. See the jazzy Christmas sweater motif? It’s a Christmas sweater…but it’s not quite a Christmas sweater. Stunning.
And, finally, I’m including a photo of my mom. She’s wearing a Christmas sweater, but it’s really her Christmas necklace that takes center stage.
