Ugly Christmas Sweater

Friday night was my “Ugly Christmas Sweater” themed party with my friends. Ready for the uglies? Which sweater do you think is the ugliest?

It was a really fun party. We giggled and laughed at each other the whole night and posted pictures on Facebook to see who would win the ugliest.

Since the party was right after work, every one was hungry on arrival. We had appetizers first. Veggie Bars and a platter with cheese, fruit, meat, chocolate and crackers, (ala Napa style).

Caesar pasta salad, Moroccan couscous and fried chicken.

My feast for the night, everything was delicious.

And a few more of these that made it straight into my mouth, This is one of the best veggie bars I’ve had. My friend Evie gave me the recipe so I’m going to try to recreate it.

I brought the dessert platter. Pumpkin pie brownie cupcakes and toasted coconut chocolate chip cookies. Everyone raved about the cookies.

Everyone brought a gift for the white elephant game.  I picked a Snuggie, but unfortunately another friend stole it from me and I ended up with a Stila brand make-up kit.

My friend Amie picked the gift that I brought. Scented candles, warm socks, hair turban. I added an extra treat and included Chocolate Mint Truffle tea. It’s one of my favorites so I wanted to share it too.

Here is my ugly sweater/vest outfit. I got it a thrift store and added silver icycles from my Christmas tree and accessorized it with a gold garland that I wore as a necklace.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🙂
