Talking "It's a Holiday Hootenanny!" (and a little help requested!)

Yesterday, I got an Evite in my email from my sister, Mary Clayton, who is hosting her 3rd annual Christmas Party (this party is mostly for her friends, co-workers, and a select few family members, i.e. me and not our parents ). Each year, there is a different theme, and I always look forward to it, as it's high-lar-i-ous. Here is the text from this year's invitation (with just a weeee bit of tweaking to make it appropriate for this family board - it IS an adults only party after all!):

Twas four nights before Christmas...and it was time to DRINK SOME BEER AND EAT SOME COOKIEEEEEEES!!!! Friday, December 21st, 9:00 pm, Clayton's House!

Don we now....the ugliest Christmas/snowflake patterned/Norwegian reindeer nightmare sweater you can dig out of your Salvation Army donation pile. We're serious. There will be a contest. Those without sweaters will be banished to the smoking patio, and it's gonna be cold.

Rules:
1. You must wear a hideous sweater for the ENTIRE night unless some sort of strip tease is involved.
2. You must not pee on the bathroom floor. (We know who you are!)
3. You must not bring mistletoe and pull it out of your pocket at opportune moments; that's gross.
4. You must wear your dancin' shoes or none at all. It's a Holiday Hootenanny!

Activities:
1. Aforementioned Ugly Sweater Contest
2. DJ Drew B will be Drewin' it up in Amanda's old bedroom so that you may rock around the Christmas tree if you so desire
3. Christmas Carol-oke (no musical talent required)
4. Grillz Contest (optional) - You may purchase grillz at your local Kangaroo gas station or you may make your own. There will be a contest if enough of you little sugar plum fairies participate.
5. Drinking - beverage selection may include spiked hot apple cider, spiked hot chocolate, spiked egg nog, Amanda's ubiquitous Jell-O shots (now in festive holiday colors!) and WHATEVER YOU BRING (hint hint).
6. Refreshments - nothing says Christmas like love handles, so there will be party trays from Chick-fil-a, as well as Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes, fresh out of the plastic wrappers. The piece de resistance will be a gingerbread-person decorating station; however, for every cookie decorated, one must be made in the likeness of the hostess. Tip: flattery will get you everywhere; non-attractive cookies will get you no more cookies.


How fun does this sound? And where can I find an ugly sweater? I looked at some last night at Wal-Mart, and they are kind of expensive (well, expensive considering I will only wear it once unless there is another ugly sweater contest in my future). I can hardly sew a button on, so making something may be out of my range. I don't want to just participate - I want to WIN!

Also, any help with a creative response is welcome. With Evites, you can post a comment with your RSVP. For example, one already posted is: "Oh the weather outside is frightful and so is this sweater I'm about to rock!" Ideas?

Scarlett - that does sound like a blast!
I say that you need to hie yourself as quickly as you can down to the local Goodwill. Hope not everyone knows about Mary Clayton's party and has arrived before you. You should be able to find a suitably ugly sweater for less than $5.
Hope you have a great time!

This party sounds like a lot of fun. Your local goodwill store should have some ugly Christmas garments for you to choose from.

What are grillz?

I don't know if you have a store like this where you live, but here, we have a chain of stores called "Gabriel Brothers." Basically, what they sell is like, department-store clothes for dirt cheap - they've all got some kind of flaw to them - like sizing is off, or there's a tiny hole in them, hems aren't straight, etc. I was just in there the other day, and they had TONS of holiday-themed sweaters. Plus, if you can get a sweater with a flaw in it, that'll add to the overall tacky effect!

Goodwill/Salvation Army is also a good bet for finding some ugly cast-offs. Sounds like fun - I attended one of these last year on New Year's Eve. We had so much fun, and it was better than getting dressed up!

The ugliest Christmas sweater I have seen was at Value City, and at three dollars it was still overpriced.
