Blame Whoever Sent It

Somebody sent me this formal, holiday party outfit, which I’m modeling over my Grinch pajama bottoms and under some random pajama top. The look of my new gift of clothing is festive and pepperminty, eh?

This black-tie bow tie attire simply showed up in an innocent-looking package in my mailbox a few days ago. I’m not sure who it is I should be thanking for such an idiosyncratic X-mas gift, or even if I should be thanking someone at all. But really, the skimpy outfit is the totality of the package’s contents. No note, no card, no letter. No return address. Who knew a red-and-white elastic collar with a solid black Bow Tie o’ the Day sewn on it skiwampusly would show up attached to a thong with more red-and-white elastic? Genius!

To the lost party soul who sent me this attire: Thank you for thinking of me. Thank you for adding a bow tie item to the TIE O’ THE DAY Christmas collection. Please be okay with the fact that I chose to wear my black Bow Tie o’ the Day thong outfit over my pj’s, and not by itself. Yes, be thankful. Be very, very thankful.

BTW Thanks again for crocheting me these great Bow Tie Slippers o’ Many Days, Georgia Grayson Wadsworth.

Piling On The Bow Ties And Ties

Bow Ties o’ the Day and Ties o’ the Day want me to make sure they are seen by our audience this year, and the countdown to Christmas is almost at zero. When I’m tooling around in The Tie Room these days, it’s clear to us all that not all holiday ties will be able to be presented on the posts, let alone worn in them before X-mas is over. Some of the neckwear got a committee together and they did a wee protest about probably not having the opportunity to reach their much-deserved stardom. I gave in, of course. I’ve packed a bunch of ’em into this Sabbath morning post, so they’ll be quiet, and I can get back to falling asleep in the recliner. Enjoy the bow ties and ties. Also, enjoy the bigly leap the tie total makes.

BTW My fave bow tie in this offering is the Ugly Sweater Bow Tie o’ the Day.
