So, if you fancy having your pals around for a festive soirée, but you're already attending three ugly sweater parties this week alone, then here are some alternatives to consider:
1) A Kompletely Kardashian Khristmas!
Dress like a Kardashian. Jumpsuits, bandage cut-out dresses, turtleneck crop-tops, airbrushed makeup—the whole kit and kaboodle. Basically, dress as fiercely and glamorously as you would every day if you had the balls and the budget.
Men attending the party can wear socks from Rob Kardashian's sock line. They can put the socks on their hands so they don't have to lift up their trouser hem to show people. See, I've thought of everything!
2) Christmas Halloween!
OK, this is just like Halloween, except instead of dressing up as Halloweeny stuff (vampire, ghost, pumpkin, etc.) you dress as something Christmas themed (snowman, candy cane, reindeer, etc.). Call it 'Christmas Halloween', because it's just confusing enough to work!
3) Santa Party!
Everyone, be they a man or a woman, dresses as Santa. Simple.
4) Winter Solstice Party!
Gather your friends around a backyard bonfire and embrace your inner pagan. Wear some crazy costume inspired by nature. Paint yourself blue, put leaves in your hair, drink wine out of a dried yak esophagus—anything goes!
5) 'Christmas Morning PJ' Party!
You know how Santa used to get everyone in your family a new pair of matching flannel pyjamas for Christmas? Nope, me neither. But that was part of my cousins' Christmas tradition and I always thought it was brilliant.
Tell your friends to wear their comfiest Christmas PJs, but also set some ground rules:
- NO "onesies" allowed. If it's marketed as a "onesie" or found in the novelty/costume section of the shop, it doesn't count as pyjamas. You want proper PJs. Ma in her kerchief and I in my cap type stuff. None of this Miley Cyrus rave-chic "look at how quirky I am" bullroar (sorry Miley).
- Keep it PG. "Pyjama party" doesn't translate to "lingerie party". Someone should have told that to the Real Housewives of Atlanta last year.
6) Retro Ski Lodge Party!
Dress like you're lounging around a ski lodge in the 70s. Tell everyone to bring a retro appetiser and serve eggnog in moose mugs.
Cheers,
Margaret
P.S. If you're British, you can just ignore this entire post and go to the pub with your mates instead.

Oh, these are really fun and nice 6 alternatives to the ugly Christmas sweater party. I am just so much in love with all of these inspirations for my pre Christmas bash that I am just thinking to host on this weekend at one of the local rental party Chicago venues.
