Ugly sweater family gathering Sunday

So, we’re all going to meet in Dearborn and then go to Greenfield Village for that Christmas stuff they have there. My sister and sister-in-law insist that we all wear ugly Christmas sweaters. It’s going to be my whole family. I don’t have an ugly Christmas sweater, but my daughters, their boyfriends and my wife does. so here’s what I’m doing: I have a brother and two nephews with degrees from that damn school down the road. I’m buying a Michigan sweatshirt and putting it under my winter coat. When everybody takes their jackets off for the ugly picture sweater I’ll be wearing that one.  so a couple of you are friends with me on Facebook I don’t want that shit cropped out and put on Facebook just me wearing that sweater by itself. Screw the ugly sweaters and screw uofm two birds one stone.

Lol. Sounds like something my dad would do.

tWife buys the fam matching xmas pjs every year. They are usually pretty cheesy. We were #chitcatting the other day and I told her I wasn't wearing them this year as I feel like Ralphie from A Christmas Story. She was not happy with me and I'm sure this years version will be extra special.

Edit: This has nothing to do with dwags post. Saw ugly sweater and thought of those damn pjs.

Someday I’ll watch A Christmas Story and understand your Ralphie reference.

That's some top notch banter, but you have to burn it immediately after. Make a ceremony out if it. Don't give it away to the homeless or anything either. They're suffering enough as it is.

I have never had a lower opinion of you than I do right now.

Actually watched the new one when he’s in his 40’s and comes home for Christmas. Meh.   Nothing beats the original. Love when he’s arrested by a cop near the end of the new one and who the cop is.

What in the actual fuck...

I like it. If you can’t stomach wearing it, I sure couldn’t, just get a sweater and attach a hand mirror to the front.

Here’s a partial list of popular movies I’ve never seen that I know are Swiller favorites:

•A Christmas Story
•Hoosiers (Mrs. GW says I have, but she drinks a lot.)
•Rudy
•Slapshot
•Major League

Those of you who wish to fight me, please take a number and wait in line.

Right? Either Miami really can’t read or, like several others here, he skips right past my posts.

WOULD YOU JUST WATCH THE GODDAMN MOVIE! FFS. Not watching that movie is like putting pineapple on your pizza.

The only thing better would be if your nephews show up in MSU sweatshirts, and you guys brawl.

The enjoyment of all the movies on this list requires one to have a heart.

No wonder you have not seen them....

I refuse to see Titanic.

Hoosiers? Damn.

I have not seen the middle three myself, but if you're not familiar with Willie Mays Hayes and Wild Thing Vaughn, you have not lived a full life.
