Alex gets merry.

A strong contender: Carol posing in her ugly sweater.

In good company: Forrest is proud to pose with Ugly Sweater Winner Philip.

A major award: Philip’s grand prize, a Charlie Brown tree, was lovingly adorned with bulbs and beers.

Notice the intricate pattern and hand-stitched letters. Angie’s sweater didn’t win, but it should receive an honorable mention for craftiness.

The Three Wise Guys: Alex, Philip and Forrest at Lure.

Emily, Erik, Erin and Justin at Lure.
