Kate's boyfriend Jason is quite competitive and he loves to win prizes. Last weekend, he set his sights on becoming the 2014 Ugly Christmas Sweater Champ of his social circle. Kate was attending the party too, so naturally she felt pressure to find herself the perfect outfit.

She went to Goodwill on her lunch hour and bought herself a sweater. Apparently it wasn't ugly enough though, because she brought it to me that evening as a gift. She told me repeatedly that she had purchased it as an ugly sweater entry but the more she looked at it, the more it reminded her of me. Hmmm...
A more fashion-conscious woman might have been offended, but not me. I adored the hand-knit sweater the second I laid eyes on it. I am totally in love with the "reduce*reuse*recycle" motto so her purchase gratified me on many levels.
The next evening, Katie sent me a picture of herself with Jason in front of the Christmas tree. Of course she looked darling - no surprises there. And Jason?
Jason looked to me like he was wearing what should become the winning entry.

Whoever was judging thought so too, because Jason went home with a trophy.
Better luck next year, Kate. P.S. I think your sweater vest is kinda cute. (Hint. Hint.)

It was an "ugly sweater" contest, so does that mean those are Jason's normal pants, shoes, and hat?
I, too, think your sweater gift is adorable, Chris! Jason's sweater is hideous and well deserved of that trophy! Katie couldn't look ugly in a burlap sack.
