Last weekend my coworker Julie Milleson invited me to an ugly Christmas sweater-themed bar crawl, in a hip district of DC called H Street. I showed up rocking the big guns, my sweater with the flashing lights and the singing, dancing reindeer trio (although most people think it looks more like a moose).

Still, I have to give big props to my neighbors and coworkers, who showed up in some very impressively ugly sweaters. Some were recently bought online, some were a little naughty, some were blinged out with lights, and some were homemade.

In fact, a few friends spent a lot of time crafting some truly unique festive finery.

I only made it to three of the venues, since I had prior plans, but what I saw was truly inspiring.
