Emotional support coworker ugly Christmas shirt

My coworker, bless her ass, always brings the most -interesting- things to our office holiday party. Last year, it was a fruitcake so dense you could build a small retaining wall with it. This year, the email arrived, a cheerful little blast advertising an “Ugly Christmas Shirt” contest. I groaned internally, already picturing what she’d unveil. I have to admit, I get a bit of a kick out of these themed events, even if they sometimes make me want to hide under my desk. The thought of finding an actual shirt, though…that felt like a bigger chore than prepping the TPS reports.

She’s the kind of person who really embraces this stuff. I always appreciate her enthusiasm, even when it veers into territory that’s maybe -too- festive for an early December Monday. She probably has the whole outfit planned, right down to the reindeer-shaped earrings. I, on the other hand, was leaning toward “maybe wearing something I already own and calling it ‘vintage-ugly’.” It’s less effort, you see. Plus, I don’t feel like navigating the crowded aisles of stores.

Thinking about it, though, a really terrible shirt could be a source of amusement. The kind that makes you laugh so hard you snort. It could lighten the mood, you know? This year had been exceptionally draining, and a bit of silliness felt like just the antidote. Maybe I could even borrow my nephew’s one with the flashing lights that he thought was hilarious last year, although, maybe that’s a step too far.

Then again, the thought of actually -participating- felt daunting. I’m pretty sure I have the social skills of a grumpy cat sometimes, and the idea of competing, or even -being seen- in an ugly shirt, felt like a bridge too far. Especially around the boss. He is a very serious type of guy, and probably wouldn’t appreciate the irony of, say, a shirt featuring a Christmas sloth wearing a Santa hat.

But seeing her excitement, and considering the absolute chaos of the last few weeks, I felt a slight shift. Maybe, just maybe, I could find something. It wouldn’t be -good-, necessarily, but it would be…something. Maybe a thrift store hunt? I found a hideous sweater with a snowman on it once, I remember, that I nearly bought just because it was so utterly awful. And, you know, it could be a small way to connect with my coworker and maybe, just maybe, feel a tiny bit festive myself.

Ultimately, I decided to take a look, even if it was just to humor her. The relief I felt was palpable when I saw my coworker’s name in my email inbox, with a subject that read Emotional Support Coworker Ugly Christmas Shirt! It contained a link to a website with -hundreds- of options. Turns out, she’d already done the legwork. Now, all I had to do was choose something… appropriately dreadful. I have a feeling that this year’s Christmas party might just be bearable, after all, and I might just surprise myself and get into the spirit.
