Each year my husband and I host a Christmas party for what we still optomistically refer to as "the kids" (which includes my siblings, cousins, close friends and their kiddos). It's one of my favorite get togethers of the year. I was blessed to grow up in the same town as my cousins on my Dad's side of the family, so we're all as close as siblings and we share a lot of great memories. It's never a dull moment when we all get together!
One tradition we like to keep (suggested a few years back by my adorable sister-in-law) is an Ugly Holiday Sweater contest. Even the kiddos get in on the act! There's an extra gift for the winner of the contest and it's fun to give new life to those hideous 80's theme sweaters ;)
Here are a few of my favorites in the running for this year..
Oh, wow. That was fun. (I actually caught myself snickering as I went through some of these listings. I'm deeply amused by hideous novelty sweaters ;)
How about you? What are some of your favorite traditions?
Hugs and Smooches,
