and back to my we're not a hohoho-y enough family....

I've never been in a Gingerbread House contest like Bob from Bob's Burgers. or even made a gingerbread house. I'm not known for delectable holiday treats. I know a couple who throw a Christmas Eve party every year...they pick a country and make food, celebrate the traditions, games, etc. of that country. I've never won a Christmas light contest. or seen a live manger scene. or served in a soup kitchen. I've never rang a bell for Salvation Army or spearheaded a toy drive. I've never made treats as a surprise for friends and neighbors. or decorated my car like a reindeer. or went to an ugly Christmas sweater party. I've never made beautiful handcrafted ornaments to sell on Etsy. or took my pets for a photo with Santa. or went to a Christmas party with a bowl full of keys like The Grinch. I've never carved rare Who beast. I've never went ice skating in a red velvet fur trimmed dress. (I once upon a time knew how to ice skate.) or participated in a Christmas Miracle (Elf.) or spent Xmas stranded in an airport. or drove thru the Xmas lights at Krug Park or Branson. Never drank egg nog. or ate fruit cake. I don't give all my loved ones new jammies to open on xmas eve so we look beautiful on xmas morning. no super secret xmas breakfast brunch casserole recipe. I don't make wonderful handcrafted items for my loved ones. (Alaska The Last Frontier.) I don't decorate my work cubicle. (I have a locker, but don't decorate it for the holidays....)
I've been meaning to have a Cajun Christmas since 2013. and now I want to have an Ugly Sweater Party!!!!

We have all seen the hilarious photos of guys wearing dated ladies Christmas Sweaters with accessories. Well, this party theme is sure to be a big hit with your friends…it was so much fun! Our party was an office party hosted in our home. The talk around the office for the past couple of weeks was…”did you get your sweater yet?!” Prizes were awarded to the guy and girl with the best sweaters! Christmas Sweater Party Ideas | OhMy-Creative.com I was really at a loss on what to create for the centerpiece, until I came across these very cute sweater wine bottle covers! I just couldn’t believe how perfect they were. I have these large glass candle holders that I keep on my dinning room table and I knew they would be perfect to fit over them. I found mine at Marshalls, but I have seen them (in the store) at pier 1 and Bed Bath & Beyond. They could easily be placed on any large size candle holders or even used as intended…on wine bottles!
