That’s all folks, I’m out of sweaters. Like Thorny said in Super Troopers, “almost made it.” Unfortunately there were not enough Christmas sweaters to make it all the way to 31 but there were more than enough to reach saturation point. After all, there’s only so many combinations of green, red, trees and santas you [...]

Christmas Sweater #28 (Extra Content) and Goodwill’s Plans for Expansion
December 28, 2008 – 12:42 pm
Christmas Sweater #28 is the real deal. TWO types of Christmas trees plus Christmas bling in the form of sequins and beads. The fabric is thick and rugged to keep you warm even though it looks like just a simple vest. Perfect with any undershirt or none at all (pictured with shirt). Goodwill’s Plans for [...]
Christmas Sweater #27 (Extra Content) and Goodwill’s Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program
December 27, 2008 – 12:40 pm
Christmas Sweater #27 is perplexing. First of all, it’s very simple and contains no shoulder pads although the reverse buttoning clearly marks it as a women’s sweater. Second, the sweater is that it’s not quite sure whether it wants to be in the Alpine Sweater category or the Christmas Sweater category. The pine trees and [...]
Christmas Sweater #26 (Extra Content) and Goodwill’s Employment Programs
December 26, 2008 – 6:38 pm
It’s not over yet, we’re just cresting the hill of extra content. Think of the next week as the second disc of your Fight Club DVD where you can watch the film an additional four different ways with commentary by everyone involved in the film, including the set designer. If anyone is interested in guest [...]
The Best Christmas Sweater of Them All & Goodwill Success Stories
December 25, 2008 – 9:32 pm
Christmas Sweater #25 is the real deal. Donated by Renee Davis of The Center for Hearing and Speech, who recently held their uber successful Via Colori festival. It’s long, even on me. Renee mentioned she used to wear green tights with the sweater, sadly mine were at the tailor getting some runs repaired. Santa’s beard [...]
Christmas Sweater #24 & Goodwill’s Educational Programs
December 24, 2008 – 11:45 pm
It’s only one day from the best Christmas Sweater of them all. Get the bubbly chilled but don’t break it out just yet. Christmas Sweater #24 depicts the triumphant return of Santa’s sleigh to the North Pole following a whirlwhind trip around the earth. This begs to question, with a workshop that can literally produce [...]
Christmas Sweater #23 and Goodwill’s Training Programs
December 23, 2008 – 6:41 pm
Christmas Sweater #23 is all about the love that we experience during this holiday season. Shown here is Santa giving Mrs. Claus an eskimo kiss (it’s cold up there, no?) before he heads out to spread cheer among all the naughty and nice children of the earth. Mrs. Claus is holding a baby reindeer answering [...]
Christmas Sweater #22 & How to Donate to Goodwill
December 22, 2008 – 5:25 pm
Christmas Sweater #22 is another subtle piece, this time a fleece job. The zipper is shaped like holly leaves and if you’re not careful you’ll miss the holly leaves, berries and a couple swirls marking up the sweater. I’ve included an inset upclose for you to witness the majesty. How You Can Contribute to Goodwill [...]
Sweater #21 and Houston Goodwill Stores
December 21, 2008 – 12:06 pm
Christmas Sweater #21 is a subtle piece whose festivity is only apparent if you stare at it for a second. Which could be creepy so exercise your peripheral vision when doing so. At first glance you might think this sweater is all about games, chess, checkers and some dangly triangles perfect to swing on in [...]
Christmas Sweater #20 and Goodwill’s Power of Work Campaign
December 20, 2008 – 10:40 am
Sweater #20 is a comfortable affair, something that could be worn to a Christmas party or function as sleep wear. A cadre of delightful penguins clad in hats and scarves sled down the snow covered fleece. More Happy Feet than March of the Penguins, these flightless birds know how to have a good time. Goodwill’s [...]
