unfashionably late
nothing screams "happy holidays" like hearts, bells, Christmas trees and a parade of teddy bears. if fruit cake died and came back as a sweater, this would be it. the perfect attire for an ugly holiday sweater party.
someone was paid to design this sweater, and someone paid money to buy this sweater new. after a few festive holidays, they abandoned it at a thrift store. that's where i found it, the glittery stitching sparkled in my eyes. i swooped in like rudolph saving the unwanted toys from the isle of misfit toys. only it was an unwanted sweater, not unwanted toy.
i am not one to attend many parties, but i love wearing ugly clothes. so i would have arrived fashionably late, had i not been wearing an unfashionable sweater. there was a delightful overdose of holiday spirit at the party like red & green chips and egg nog. i imagined that if i could drink my sweater, it would taste like egg nog, that stuff is terrible.
hope your holidays are full of hearts, stars and horseshoes, clovers and blue moons, pots of gold and rainbows, and me red balloons. or at least hearts, bells, trees and teddy bears. some snow would be nice too.
