As Winter Break draws close and temperatures turn frigid, Andover’s community gathered last Saturday for a festive Ugly Sweater Party. From elf costumes to Grinch onesies, students showed off their Christmas-themed outfits while enjoying caroling and cookies.
Max Gomez ’23
“My shirt is Buddy the elf saying ‘Oh my god! Santa!’ It’s a quote from the movie [Elf] and he’s making a very excited face…. [I decided to wear it] because I love Buddy the elf and everything he stands for. He’s just a great person overall, great elf, and really just knows Christmas spirit and how to embody it… [My shirt] actually has someone’s face on it, which I think makes it kinda unique…My brother got it for me at a Secret Santa one year.”
Dagny Bingham ’23
“I am wearing a gingerbread man with a skirt, and I wore it because it was provided by Mr. Capano [Director of Student Activities] and looked very nice and is comfy…I didn’t see anyone else as a gingerbread man…I thought [the party] was fantastic, things really livened up in the last hour even though now it just got quiet. Energy was high, we had a kick line and a conga line, which is all that matters.”
Charles Murphy ’23
“I am wearing a Grinch onesie…Ain’t nobody else got a heart three sizes too small…I am a big fan of cookies.”
Sui Yu ’23, Andover’s 2022-2023 Student Body Co-President
“I am wearing a sweater with a golfer on it because I have a deep passion for golf and Ultimate…This is from a thrift store, so I know nobody else has it…I think the Blue Key Heads did a fabulous job [with this event].”
Devan Hernandez ’23
“I am wearing a Buddy the Elf costume because I wrote my personal statement on Buddy the Elf…The spirit here is immaculate.”
Tucker Nee ’23
“I am wearing a Santa Claus blazer, and I stole it from Devan…Christmas is all about giving so I thought I’d take something.”
