Clearly no one really got the message! People, didn’t you read my Don’t put a Snuggie in their Stockings! post?????
Christmas Day I was getting text messages from excited friends who are now the proud, and I say proud because they are boasting, owners of Snuggies.
With every one, I thought to myself why don’t people have enough sense? You do not need a blanket with sleeves!
What is wrong with just a regular blanket??? We’ve been using those for decades! And heaven help me when the people I know and even love start thinking it’s OK to wear those ridiculous things out of the house!
So when I finally arrived at my grandparents’ house (via a very long and dreadful Christmas Day travel experience that I won’t go into detail now) late last night, I thought I was imagining things when I saw my grandfather open up one of his gifts.
“No, not a Snuggie!” I yelled.
Then as my mom watching my reaction she said, “I’m glad I didn’t get you one then.”
My dad began to chuckle. She said he told her I wanted one. Of course, I know he reads this blog regularly and knows my Snuggie hatred all too well.
But the funniest thing really was my grandfather had no idea how to actually wear it.
I grabbed my iPhone and hilarity ensued.
Then my aunt swore she didn’t understand the need for them either. I told her you can “use a blanket and have your hands free!” That’s the pathetic excuse everyone’s dishing out, regergitating the cult-like marketing for this product.
She started laughing so hard she said she might pee herself. But she quickly gained her composure long enough to demonstrate to my grandfather how you really wear one.
“Look, my hands are free!” she said.
Followed by, “Is this going to be on the blog?”
Yep, sure is!
And finally my grandmother opened one of her presents too. And I’m staring at the same dreaded thing.
Of course, she was giggling away. She’s the one who actually went out and bought the matching Snuggies, so it was no surprise to her.
At one point my grandfather declared he didn’t need it, and tossed it exactly where it belonged– in a trash bag.
For those of you gasping in dismay, have no fear, it was quickly retrieved to be worn another day. Curses, foiled again!
Oh and to top it off, the family taunted me saying they’d put one on me in my sleep, along with a pair of Crocs, and take a picture!
Stylishly yours,
Miss Attitude

That is so great and I can’t wait for it to get cold enough for me to wear MY NEW SNUGGIE!!!!!!!!
Gotta love family! Thanks for sharing…my dad has a Snuggie, too, but I didn’t get it for him.
I love that your Grandpa kept his hat on. That really completes the ensemble.
FUNNIEST.POST.EVER.
I refuse to believe that you did not even try it on for size. Where are the pics? Stop holding out on us.
I love it!! that is all i have to say. glad you finally made it home.
Well I had a Christmas present all picked out for you, but after reading this post, I should probably return it.
If only they would make a Snuggie with legs too.
You know, if I could find a high end, super soft, plush beyond belief snuggie-like product, you KNOW I’d be there. Call me a snob, but I’m just not going there for acrylic.![=]](http://www.missattitude.us/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/adiumicons/sideways.png)
Hi-larious! Your own family has fallen victim to the cult? Run now!
Your family is very wise and understands the ways of the masters!
Your cabana is a lonely, hollow place without you, love…
