The Plague of Christmas Sweaters Strikes Us All, Including Graham Harrell (Allegedly)

My family never suffered from the plague of Christmas sweaters. My father did for a decade or so have Christmas pants. They looked like this, were flame-retardant and bullet-proof, and did not stain despite my mother’s best efforts to “accidentally” bleach them into submission or kill them off with an “accidentally” spilled glass of wine. They were the Rasputin of pants, and are probably still out wandering the desert like Anton Chigurh, just waiting to flip a coin and watch a stranger tremble with fear.↵↵Christmas pants aside, I got off easy on the horrifying fashion front during the holidays. Some of us did not: ↵

This is a reminder that you should never allow yourself to be photographed for any purposes anytime anywhere, as it will end up on the internet for people to make fun of you anonymously. ↵
