random word of the day: AN UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER PARTY

random word of the day: AN UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER PARTY – impreza dedykowana brzydkim świątecznym swetrom (a party where everyone is required to wear a hideous holiday sweater)
 

(1) I know that we all have that one ugly Christmas sweater sitting in our closet, waiting to be worn to the annual ugly Christmas sweater party.

(2) Looking for something fun to do? How about going to an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party?  They're fun, festive, and frightfully tacky!

(3) The Ugly Christmas Sweater Party at the Commodore Hotel in Vancouver started it all! Their invites read "The biggest, wildest, sweateriest bash of the season". It’s the most fun you can have with your knitwear on.

be required to do something – mieć obowiązek, musieć (to have to do something)

hideous – paskudny, wstrętny (extremely ugly)

annual – doroczny (happening every year)

frightfully – bardzo, strasznie (very)

tacky – tandetny (in bad style)

an invite – zaproszenie (an invitation)

a bash – impreza, balanga (a party)

a knitwear – dzianina tu: sweter (a sweater, jumper) 

(4) The uglier the sweater, the better the party.

(5) In addition to the ugly Christmas sweater party, we have a white elephant gift, in which everyone must bring something (horrible and of no use) that was given to them which they hate and want to get rid of. 

(6) You’re invited to a special bash

And here’s your chance to make a splash:

Be sure to wear a Christmas sweater,

The uglier it is, the better.

So mug a grandma, trawl a thrift shop,

An elegant choice would be a flop.

The most obnoxious earns the praise;

Celebrate the kitschy side of the holidays!
