Tacky Sweater Day 2010

We had another stiff round of competition at this year's annual tacky sweater/comfort food potluck. Here's Ken showing off his creation:


Shannon also put forward an impressive effort and installed lights in her sweater (including a giant battery pack). Alas, the grand prize went to Debi whose crystal lights and jingle bells creation actually had a twin, worn to elementary school by her daughter on the same day who not only helped Debi make this one but is encouraging her teacher to start their own tacky sweater day! We loved that this was a family effort.


Let me take a moment to introduce you to the real star of our show: The Trophy. Carefully crafted by Maria and myself three or four years ago (in about 5 minutes from the dollar store), each year's winner is required to donate a bauble from their sweater to the trophy. Looking good!

Tune in next year as we shine, jingle, and spend a day getting odd looks in public in pursuit of the tackiest sweater. Hope everyone had a safe holiday season.
