It’s Friday, and let’s talk about one of the most annoying things in the office around the holidays. No, it’s not the canned music that seems to start up in early November, or the cubicle decorations that get out of control – it’s the office sweater party. Amarite?

Every cubicle worker knows about the ugly sweater party. It’s a horrible perversion of the traditional Christmas Party, the one for which everyone could dress up nice and get tipsy and maybe a little office romance would finally spark.

Of course, maybe that’s the point. No-one is getting it on with someone wearing one of the ugly Christmas sweaters…. I mean, have you seen these things? It’s like an elf threw up on your grandma’s nightgown.
