It loses humor and irony when everyone does it year in and year out.

I'm just too edgy to be amused by your weak attempts at ironic humor. I go to Christmas parties dressed as black-faced Santa and bring granny porn for the white elephant gift exchange.

I think flannel is turning into the new "tacky" Christmas sweater.

Where have you seen these? I tried to find one to wear to an office "ugly christmas sweater" party, but couldn't find one anywhere. I'm pretty sure they went "out of style" long ago, and are now just a retro goof.

It doesn't bother me none, either. I'm just of the opinion that it's no longer funny. It's just normal.

I agree. I was just saying this the other day. Now that companies sell ugly sweaters specific to parties the whole thing is pretty watered down.

It's not about humor. It's about having a party and seeing friends

Are all your hipster friends are in agreement on that? I would guess they would be but at the same time hate that they are not in the dissenting opinion to still seem edgy. Weird double edge sword there.

I didn't like the OP, but this was worth my upvote.

Exactly. Sure everyone is doing it these days, but it's still a great way to get together, have some laughs at the most tacky costume and share gifts. I hope it never ends
