So today I'm wearing my holiday jeans. I bought them around this time of year which was a major mistake. The reason of course is that around this time of year I'm unusually skinny from training. So I went down a couple of inches in the waist and wanted jeans that actually fit. Well I found them, they're nice but I'm not happy that I can only wear them for December/January since I can't keep this weight off year-round.
Granted it's not a lighted Rudolph the reindeer sweater, but still... How about y'all???

Believe it or don't I almost pulled the trigger on a pair of those, but opted for the jeans since they would be more versatile, for the 45 days when I can fit into them.

Darn. Well, if you do decide to spring for them, please post some pics!

I was 11 years old. It was near Christmas and I threw together an emsemble of a red shirt, red denim skirt, white belt, and lime green socks. 
Thomas, I keep pants of various sizes as my weight has fluctuated over the years - my motto is never throw any favorite pants away! I am now regretting some wonderful old Levis 501s that I thought I would never be able to fit into again, and then I lost weight... never say never again!
What is it about the holidays and stirrup pants? It seems like the two occur together. It can't be pure coincidence...

Sounds like about half the hipsters in Portland!

Heh, last time I dropped to a 32 waist I had my chinos taken in. Then I gained again, and they were all unwearable. I've not been that skinny since, but have come rather close at times. I buy few enough clothes to be able to keep some here and there. Actually I just got rid of some jeans I wore in high school. I kind of outgrew them style-wise. Plus, they were black, and I've got better options now.
Wearing pants with an elastic waist at a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. I've found I do much better if I wear fitted, non-stretch pants.
(Yes, some would say that wearing an elastic waist at any time is a fashion no-no. Meh.)

That reminds me of an episode on Friends when Joey wore Phoebe's maternity santa pants to a meal thrown by Monica : )
