I am a Horrible Person -- The Holiday Edition

Tomorrow is ugly sweater day at work.  We will have a contest and a Secret Santa swap.  Having never owned a truly ugly Christmas sweater, I was loath to go out and purposely buy one.  It is not easy to find them second-hand this time of year and I refuse to spend $$ on something that is intentionally ugly and only wearable for one cliched event a year.  My version is inspired by Calvin and Hobbes as well as South Park.  My boss will probably not let me join in any reindeer games once she sees it.  But I am happy with it.

This was a cheap and easy solution.  I did buy the sweatshirt at a thrift.  It's got a stain on it but I don't care!  The felt cut-outs came from Dollar general.  They are supposed to hang on door knobs. I cut off the plastic ring and then decapitated them.  For affixing them, I used heavy duty Aleen's Tacky Glue I got for a buck at Dollar Tree.  The glitter letters came from the Santa Hats I got last week -- the CSS team I gave them to loved them.

I guess it's only fitting that immediately following the event, I will have to start prep for my second colonoscopy.  That is one part of getting old that is a drag.  My first one was fine, so I was able to wait five years.  If this one is OK, I can wait another ten.  My mother developed colon cancer and she refused to get screened when it became standard procedure.  I hate doing it, but with a family history I guess it is a necessary evil.  I need to live a good long time to do more horrible holiday things!
