Word prompt--CHRISTMAS SWEATER
Five minutes to free-write about it
-------------------------------------------------------
Just wondering how the tradition of calling Christmas sweaters "ugly Christmas sweaters" came about. I've had several Christmas sweaters over the years, but never considered any of them ugly. I don't even think this picture of a Christmas sweater Andrew posted is ugly. To me it looks colorful and festive.
Anyway, that led to a totally unrelated thought of a post I had written a very long time ago on a now defunct blog. It was about a big old turkey vulture I had spotted sitting on top of a roof. I had added the word "ugly" to my description of it, and one friend commented that she bet his mama didn't think he was ugly, and another, that all God's critters are beautiful. They were both right.
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. It's all a matter of perspective.
Beautiful sweater and bird 🐦 🐦⬛ photos.
