Tacky Christmas Sweater Pics

New Year’s Eve is tomorrow…what are your plans? For the last few years (or, as long as they’ve been married) my friends, Samantha & Travis, have thrown a party at their house because it’s also Travis’s birthday. Yeah, how bad does it suck to have your birthday on New Year’s Eve? That’s second only to having it on Christmas and just ahead of the 4th of July. Thank God mine is just past Labor Day or I’d be screwed, too!

Anyway, that fact that they have a party at their house is beneficial to me in several ways. First of all, they have three bathrooms, so I never have to wait in line. That is FANTASTIC because I inherited my mom’s bladder, which is the size of a pea.

Secondly, I can get REALLY drunk and just crash at their place, thus not having to worry about driving home or getting a taxi. And I swear, the bed in their guest room is the most comfortable mattress on the face of the earth. I feel like I’m an angel sleeping on a cloud whenever I stay there.

Third, everyone drinks for free because Travis built his own bar complete with a Kegerator in their basement! Yeah! Do you know how ridiculously expensive it is to drink at a bar on New Year’s Eve?! You damn near have to dip into your 401 (k) just to cover the tab.

Lastly, this year will be amazing because the theme is “Tacky Christmas Sweaters.” There will be a vote on who has the tackiest sweater of them all, and I’m sure an awesome prize will be given out as well. Since my mom felt insulted when I asked her if I could have one of her tacky sweaters to wear, I’m going to have to do some power shopping to find a beauty. I MUST win!

So boys and girls, no matter what you do this New Year’s Eve… be safe, be happy, and above all else, be tacky! And for God’s sake, kiss SOMEONE at the stroke of midnight!
