a) Something that says, "I didn't bother trying, and neither should you" (hoodie
and jeans).
b) A Christmas sweater so loud, the neighbors are complaining about the noise.
c) My "formal" pajamas - because no waistbands are required for the holidays.
d) A suit, but with socks that demand more attention than the main course.
2. How do you feel about ugly Christmas sweaters?
a) They're the equivalent of a dad joke. I’ve only got one.
