Tacky Christmas Sweaters

I can say I understand I love past styles. But I do wonder when they first came into style what made a designer think of Christmas sweaters with giant christmas trees and reindeer on them was a good idea. I kinda love them now though, I mean it's pretty funny that people now host  "ugly christmas sweaters parties." But what is best of all that the younger generations are asking there parents/grandparents to borrow the sweaters and the reactions for loaning there "tacky" sweaters is so funny! 

Take my mom, in the early 90's she had this Christmas sweater with a giant Christmas tree on it and snow all over it. When I asked her if I could borrow it for a wacky tacky christmas party she was so offended (she has great taste and stuff, it was a trend back then so I get why she was) and I had to explain that its a trend now and that it was great then but now it awesome.She agreed and stuff but I still wonder, what made people think to them selves, "self, lets where a christmas sweater with 20 bells on it." Ahhhhh good stuff.
I love Christmas sweaters though, they are fun and festive.I've seen a couple of great ones this year.

My Goodness!

MY GOODNESS! Do I need to schedule blogging time... I suck at this. But, I will not give up.


 Seems like Christmas has snuck upon us. I even forgot to make a paper chain count down, last year i made it in November! Alas today we decorated the tree and cleaned the house for a christmas party and yesterday i went to a tacky christmas sweater party! Crazy how time flies when your panicking for finals. Bet you thought I'd say "having fun" huh? Hah! I had 2 tests and a project this week and next week I've got 3 exams! But it hasn't been all work... I recently discovered Polyvore.com and have done little else, that sight is addicting! I tried to post them but it didn't work well. My account is called colorwheel
