Every year my family hosts an annual 'Tacky Party.' The invites? "Get out your fugliest Christmas attire and come rock hard at our Third Annual Tacky Christmas Party! This is sure to make for some phenomenal photos! Be warned... we have security at the door and our dress code will be STRICTLY enforced!" (That's the Mr. Dykstra friendly version. :]) We deck our house out in the tackiest, most "grandma-esque" Christmas accessories we can find; our house, currently, looks like it's decorated by a crazy Christmas fangirl. The party this year is themed after "Don't be Tardy for the Party" by Kim Zolciak. (The song speaks for itself.) My mom invites all the family and friends over; the best part, though, is the food. December is the month where my family members, on my mom's side, atleast, actually cook things they should more often-- my favorite being my mom's oreo truffles and my grandma's peanut butter balls-- and almost everything they bring to the party is worthy of five star status.
People are decked out in things from knee high striped socks, Santa suits, Christmas aprons, and the most common item, dubbed "Tacky Christmas Sweater From Mom's Closet."  Dont be tardy for the party!
