"Tis the day to rock ugly Christmas sweaters."
When I realized today is ugly sweater day, I just had to pop over to Nina Hollander's blog, knowing she would have all the details about this special day. I was not disappointed.
Since I don't own any Ugly Christmas sweaters (or any other Christmas sweaters) I had to pull out my BahHumbug t-shirt that I wore to Anna Banana's annual Christmas party at her house last December. Thanks to my good luck, I arrived in the Phoenix area just before Anna & Gary's annual party. I contacted Anna to arrange a time to get together for lunch or something. Sight unseen she invited me to attend their party. I thought that was brave of her since she had never met me before. It was a fun time... and very festive, as you can see by the picture above.
I didn't get to Phoenix in December this year but I will be there in January and looking forward to getting together with Anna and all of my other ActiveRain buddys in the area that I met last year. I wrote about that in a blog post called Traveling In The Rain: 3 Meet-ups and also here at MeetUp With Out of Town Rainers. Perhaps this year I can meet some more Rainers in the area.
Happy Ugly Christmas Sweater Day Everyone!
I own an ugly sweater, but we are having a dreary overcast day. I've made a huge pot of Southwest Corn and Bacon Chowder. I'm not wearing a sweater. I'm spending the day root and foraging in my bed!

Hi Andy Brown-Climer School of Real Estate ,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I've been blogging since 2005. When I was an active agent / broker / owner I did the keyword thing and blogged my way to the top 7 spots on page one of Google. I've been retired now for 7 years and I just blog about whatever strikes my fancy without regard to keywords or SEO value.
Oh Myrl Jeffcoat ,
I love corn and bacon chowder. I used to have a good recipe but lost it somewhere along the line. Maybe you'd share yours? Hope you enjoyed your day hunkered in.
Hi Hannah Williams ,
Anna really is the hostess with the mostess and she has a very interesting mix of guests at her gatherings.

Awesome... Thanks, Myrl Jeffcoat . I'll jump over to your blog and check it out!
Hi Kathy Streib ,
Yes, me too. And, I love there are so many ActiveRainers in the Phoenix area.
Ugly sweaters or something that you wouldn’t think would be as fun as they are! Have a blessed holiday!
