A HUGE THANK YOU & HOLY CONGRATULATIONS!

A thunderous round of applause to Ann Peterson

Let us all rise (or at least smile really big ) and give a thunderous round of applause to Ann Peterson, the Winner of our First Annual Ugly Sweater Contest!

Ann, this was not just a sweater—this was a testimony.

A work of art.

A custom-designed proclamation boldly declaring Christmas cheer… with just a hint (or maybe a very loud shout ) that the University of Texas is not exactly your favorite place on earth.

Ha!

We sensed that loud and clear, and we are still laughing!

Your creativity, courage, and commitment to full-on festive silliness brought us pure joy. Bells, Grinch energy, custom details—this sweater preached a sermon all on its own, and it was titled:

“Thou Shalt Have Zany, Wild Fun at Christmas!”

So Ann, congratulations!

Thank you for blessing us with laughter, holiday spirit, and fearless fashion.

May your days be merry, your sweaters be bold, and your Christmas season be filled with zany, wild, holy fun—the kind that makes heaven smile and the congregation laugh out loud.

Well done, champion of ugly sweaters!
