A long sleeve, black and red plaid, empire waist full-length maxi dress with pockets was excited to make a grand entrance at the Christmas program, feeling festive and ready to impress. But as soon as she arrived, she realized the night was not going according to plan. Her pockets, which she thought would be cute, quickly became a disaster—stuffed with stray candy wrappers, a rogue mitten, and someone’s forgotten Christmas card. During the Christmas carol sing-along, she got caught on a chair while trying to stand up, almost pulling a nearby poinsettia off the table. As she tried to discreetly free herself, she managed to knock over a plate of cookies with her sleeve, sending crumbs everywhere. “Next year,” she thought, “I’m going for the ugly sweater option.”
