Surely you've heard by now of Santa Sweater parties, where 20-somethings buy the tackiest holiday-themed sweaters they can find and wear them as part of the alcohol-enhanced entertainment.
Well forget that.
I came across these hilarious pictures from Kiel James Patrick's site (dig his supremely preppy bracelets here- I think a certain trust fund baby is jockeying to be the next Ralph Lauren), and with the preppy look roaring back into fashion (Did it ever really go out?), I won't be happy now until I've hosted my own Preppy Party!
Read on to see more of these awesomely bad photos!

You'd fit right in with this gang!

Madras. It's not just for pants. (But it should be.)

Even Mee Maw and Pa Pa can get in on the Preppy Party action!
So... Do you want a spot on my guest list or what?!

Good news, Carenann! They've come out with a new edition of the Preppy Handbook! It was excerpted in the last issue of Vanity Fair! :)
