holiday emergency!

[curgoth]

Ok, not really an emergency.

We've got our team xmas lunch coming up this week, and the meeting request included the following;

[BigBoss] has agreed that we can make this a casual dress day (yes that does mean jeans) however there is a condition...you must wear something of a festive nature or colour with it - a santa hat, elf boots, something red or green etc.

I'm not going to be wearing red n' green... but I want to maximise my casuallness, since I typically only get to wear jeans once a month. Does anyone know where I can get a black santa hat before Thursday morning? If I have to, I suppose I can make one... but I don't want to put too much effort into this if I can avoid it.

if all else fails, you could wear something blood red that isn't at all christmassy
if you had red stompy boots, that would be hot, but those are probably hard to find (and really expensive)

Well, it's easy enough to get my hands on red stompy boots; I know several stores that sell them. Ijust don't have the spare $800 to pick up a pair... :)

ahh, yes, that's a slight problem, isnt it?
but to me that's only, what $400-600? *attempts to remember how to convert from canadian to american currency*

maybe you could make yourself a quick little black elf hat out of felt
i don't think that they are all that difficult to make...

[curgoth]

Yeah, I'll probably do that tomorrow night... it just means I need to swing by the fabric store down town on my way home.
