Countdown to Kitschmas Day 6 ~ unveiling of the Ugly Christmas Sweater

From a rescued slide dated 1968

These shopgoodwill.com ornaments look as old as that float ~


The two images above qualify me to participate in Coloradolady's


*drum roll* I present the unveiling of this year's Ugly Christmas Sweater!



This sweater was a thrift shop find NWT (new with tag) some months back.  Here is the sweater in closer detail - I am gonna wear the heck out of this one!



This guy knows how to work it!

If only I could find this gem of an outfit ....

Linking with Kyra Lennon for her:



Group of odd kitschy elves for $12.50 at the Goodwill on 16th Street in Sacramento.


When all else fails, smoke and drink your way through the holiday!

What I am listening to ~ Dean Martin's Season's Greetings.  I didn't realize I already had this CD, just different cover art.  Fav track - Baby It's Cold Outside.

    1. The images are a combination of my kitsch, others kitsch, online kitsch - I try to credit the image when I know the source.

      I really haven't decorated much at my home. It just means having to take all the stuff down again.
