The perfect ugly sweater

First, you’re going to need to pick a color. Something vibrant like an explosive red or green, preferably something that can be seen from outer space. You cannot pick a non-Christmas-color like, for example, orange, black, or yellow.These colors can be so non-Christmas oriented that it can appear to be Halloween.

Second, you are going to want to show as little skin as possible. Long-sleeves, turtlenecks and scarves are key to this design. Even if you are wearing a vest, put another sweater under it.

Third, you are going to want to be noticed, and that means bells. You want people to think that Santa’s sleigh is coming to town. Bells on your sleeves, collar, wrists, hems, armpits and wherever else you can put them will surely make you jingle.

Last but not least, the only way to show your true Christmas spirit and enthusiasm for the holidays is through the sheer number of Santas, Reindeer, and Snowmen that adorn the front of your sweater.

And if you can string some Christmas lights down your sleeves and find a battery pack to clip on to your pocket, then you will surely be the most enthusiastic sweater-wearer this holiday season.

About the Contributors
Will Dumke
Will Dumke, Staff Writer
To Will Dumke ’16, Inklings has not only brought him the opportunity to inform the school on the news, but it has let him jump in the back of a car and film screaming seniors as they drive from one end of town to the other. Raking in thousands of views last year, Dumke put together a short video that gave a glimpse of what the tradition of Motorcade was like on the inside. This video was by far Dumke’s favorite piece of his from last year and he aspires to keep working on his videography skills this upcoming year. But he’s not only in it for the multimedia aspect. Dumke likes being a part of journalism because it allows him to get information out to the public quickly. He loves to write both news and sports stories because he enjoys giving the “quick pop” of information that the readers are interested in. However, if you don’t find Dumke hunched over a computer writing a story or editing a video, he could easily be practicing the piano or skiing down the slopes of a challenging mountain. He is a member of both the Staples jazz band and the Staples ski team and loves being a part of both. Over the summers, he spends his time either helping little kids learn how to sail or hanging out with his friends. Going into his second year on the Inklings staff, Dumke hopes to work on his creative writing and put together a collection of pieces that he’s proud of.
