I have lived in a cycle of depression and sadness for the last ten years of my life. Incidentally, I have been married for ten years and have hosted Thanksgiving AND Christmas at our house for the combined families for nine of those ten years. I know there are so many people out there who have an extremely hard time dealing with the holiday madness, and all they have to do is participate. Imagine how bad it is for us each year? My wife gets just as overwhelmed as I do, and we always end up in a big fight sometime at the beginning of December and spend the remainder of our vacation sad and regretful. Not this year. This year, I'm throwing a Christmas t-shirts party.
Wow! I just felt a thousand eyes roll simultaneously when they read those words. You need to quit being a jerk for just one minute and think about it without judgment. It's a perfect way to alleviate some of that Holiday stress that builds up in such a huge portion of the population. It's a chance to drink, be silly, and relax in an otherwise intense time of planning, working hard, and ruining your credit score with purchases of things you surely don't need.
My devious plan is a simple one. All I want to do, really, is get all of my buddies over to my house and away from their relatives for drinks and to laugh at some goofy Christmas t-shirts. My rules are pretty simple: no children, no stress, lots of booze, and plenty of laughs. If everything works out according to plan, there will be at least a couple of people wearing kitten shirts on my lawn the next morning.
If I'm trying to get away from Christmas for a night, then why am I asking all of my guests to wear Christmas t-shirts? Well, I'm so very glad you asked. Since everyone I know who is under the age of 50 thinks of Christmas t-shirts as something old church ladies wear, then it will be jarring and hilarious to see a whole room full of young people wearing them. Imagine showing up to a party to drink and have fun, and everyone there has shirts covered in rhinestones, snowflakes, and Santas. That would be pretty awesomely hilarious, would it not? Once you can laugh at something, it is no longer so scary...which will be the whole point of this party.
There will also be no gift exchanging. The only gifts that are allowed to swap hands at this party are shots of liquor and glasses of beer. I have a feeling that there are going to be lots of friends who are going to turn my invitation down because they are too busy, too stressed, and too tired. They might as well be saying that they are too sad to come. I will have to talk them all into it, and they will thank me vigorously once they get a few adult beverages in them and realize that having a Christmas T-Shirt Party was the shot in the arm that they needed to get over their Christmas bug.
