Special Note: I posted this story last week on Facebook, however Holly corrected me on a few of the details, so here is the full and correct version of the story 🙂

   Holly and I were sitting around the other day, reminiscing about Christmases gone by and I was reminded of our first Christmas as a married couple. Ah the good old days.  That was the year I made the most amateur of husband mistakes; buying your wife a piece of clothing that she hadn’t first put her stamp of approval on.  Well, the sweater she’s wearing in this picture is in fact that piece of clothing.  Apparently I asked her if she liked it (I think the trauma of rejection has removed the events from my memory) and she did what any good newlywed in her situation would do… she lied and said she did.  She wore it a couple of times so I would see it on her and then promptly moved it to the back of the closet; she couldn’t bring herself to throw it away.  It took her a couple of years before she finally admitted that she didn’t like it at all… in reality she actually hated it! LOL But alas, she still has it to this day, as a reminder of my undying love for her… and of my terrible taste in women’s clothing.

   Now, I would assume that most of you are going to look at the sweater and think to yourself that it isn’t that bad… I mean she does look exceptionally cute in it.  Rest assured though, its terrible.

Here’s hoping you made some memories this holiday season that will last a really long time… even if it takes you a while to realize it! 🙂
