At work we do an ugly holiday sweater competition, which is really funny. People glue and stitch all sorts of crazy things to sweaters in an effort to win. (The prize is just bragging rights, and your photo emailed out to everyone.) A couple years ago, the winner did a sweater with a Christmas Tree made out of glued-on cigarette butts that she had "harvested" from the employee smoking area.
I think it was truly the
ugliest thing I've ever seen! (Didn't smell so good, either - she had to take it off after awhile, people were complaining!)
I don't participate - ugly sweaters aren't really my thing. But I like seeing what sort of insane things people are doing with theirs. It's always good for a laugh.
Ugly sweaters outside of work seem really tame and dull by comparison. I'm not sure I'll ever see a sweater that can compete with the cigarette butt tree!
