After 10+ years of hiding in sweatshirts and jeans, I try to always overdress especially when I have the "excuse" of an official function or party.
Last year I scored a dress at 50% from Modcloth during their 12 Days of Christmas sale. I'm hoping to do the same this year. I could wear last year's plaid dress to Christmas Eve service & the staff party; I'd just rather not.
My kids always have new jammies for Christmas morning & last year we all wore ugly Christmas sweaters to my family's Christmas get-together.
