UGLY sweater competition

This year was my first year at my current office. Every year they have an "Ugly Christmas Sweater Day." Last year, there was a "scandal" involving who won the competition, and one of the girls went on and on and on and on (...and I'm not exaggerating) about how she should have been the winner ("it was a popularity contest," "she didn't even have a sweater on," etc, etc).

If you know me, you understand my inability to foster dramatic environments (I don't put up with "Girl B.S.")....but this was so freaking ridiculous, I HAD to encourage it.

I told this girl (the self proclaimed "real winner" of last year's competition) that she'd better "watch out" because I wasn't going to let her win this year either (mwahahaha). I talked up a mean game (Tuttle's are pretty well-known for our smack talk capabilities......though I must say, we can back it up 101% of the time...:P). For a couple of months this went on and I knew I was getting under her skin (petty, but so was her grudge regarding last year's competition).

So, needless to say, the day of the competition came, and I was MORE than prepared:

Obnoxiously large and ridiculous santa earings:

Check.

Nass-assty, itchy Christmas sweater:

Check.

FUGLY over-sweater, furry green Christmas-tree/Santa hat, light up colored Christmas light neckace and JUMBO green Santa pen:

CHECK.

BOOYA!

I didn't get any pics of the competition (...maybe because there was nothing that even remotely resembled competition...) but I will say that I had a TON of fun (smack talking and ugly sweater searching). The sweaters will stay for many future Ugly Christmas Sweater Days (and rightly so), but I DARE you to be that sucka's!
