Before everyone parts ways, your mother-in-law has arranged for a photographer to swing by to capture a family portrait.
Fine.
She asks (actually insists) that everyone wear the horrible and itchy Christmas sweaters that she bought. She intends to use the picture for next year's holiday card.
What would YOU do?
lol... I can't even figure out the right answer for the situation.
ReplyDeleteRather than face the wrath of my MIL I would throw on the horrible sweater. Really, you don't know my MIL.
ReplyDeleteIn the grand scheme of things it's truly no big deal. People who love us do things for us they don't necessarily want to do but....I'd throw the sweater on and take the photo. Besides, its so incredibly cheesy that nowadays people might assume it's a spoof. "Awww, I think its great your family did the classic horrible sweater photo for Christmas. I wish my family had fun that way."
ReplyDeleteThat's how my friends would take it...smiling. Seriously, who does that?
Besides, when the Lord calls her home it would be another great memory the family shares.

I agree...just toss the thing on like a cashmere Hermes wrap and smile like you won the lottery! People who know you realize that the hideous sweater is not your personal taste, and they might even think it's hilarious when they receive next year's card! It most certainly will be one that nobody will be able to forget. Stan
ReplyDeleteI would sit still and say cheese.

Put on the sweater and grin like a jackass eating briars! It's just one picture and if it makes an old lady happy, then Happy New Year and extra candy for you!
ReplyDeleteStand behind someone taller! and Smile for the camera!
ReplyDeleteIt's not your calling card just a family photo...you'll look back and laugh at these someday.
Yeah. Put it on and smile big.
ReplyDeleteSounds like we all agree that being generous and respecting our elders is still a sign of true class and grace.
ReplyDeleteSuck it up and smile real big!
ReplyDeleteThrow on on the sweater long enough to take the pictures (with an undershirt to try and help ease the itch). Say cheese then take it off as soon as we were done.
ReplyDeleteRun like hell yikes! Plus most christmas sweaters dont come in pink lol
ReplyDeleteMake sure my make up and hair are flawless, smile nice big and rock that sweater!!
ReplyDeleteMake sure my hair and makeup is hot and smile pretty for the picture.
ReplyDeleteSit behind someone and say "cheese"!
ReplyDeleteAs long as everyone else in the picture is wearing one, why not? What a hoot you will all have next year when that card arrives in the mail!
ReplyDeleteYou'll all be in for some great laughs. These are the things of great memories! Enjoy, life is too short!
