Christmas Sweater Contest

Christmas is coming and I’m sure you’re all on the lookout for that perfect Christmas sweater. The most outrageous, the better, in my opinion! This year, I need your help.
I love Neil Diamond.
What does that have to do with Christmas sweaters?
Well, this year Neil (we’re on a first name basis after our “encounter” a couple of years ago) is holding a contest and the prize is a trip to his private Christmas party! Meeting Neil Diamond is on my short list of things I would do almost anything for. Lucky for me, I have a chance to meet him and all I have to do is take an awesome picture of me wearing a Christmas sweater.
Because I’m Christy Nelson.net, I have to make one myself! They are judging 25% originality, 25% sweater design, 25% setting and pose, and 25% Christmas theme. I seriously think I have a good shot at winning this, but I could use some ideas. I get three chances with three different sweaters.
Please help my dreams come true!
What should I put on the sweater? Do you have a Christmas sweater to donate to the cause? Ideas for poses? Picture locations? I have until Dec 4th.
Are you going to enter and take me with you if you win?

I think it needs to be a “pop-up” sweater–you know, 3-d. With real presents, ornament fringe, a little Christmas tree, and full on blinking twinkle lights. Please don’t forget glitter and your bedazzler.
All I can say is, Sweet Holy Moley Awesomeness – is this the right contest for you!
I think you should somehow incorporate some of Neil’s songs into the sweater decor. Like ‘Tennessee Moon” over a nativity scene. Or a present for “Sweet Caroline”. Okay, I don’t really know many Neil songs, but there’s my 2 cents.
Also, sparkly+ ribbons + kittens in santa hats = Christmas sweater awesomeness.
How about a Christmas tree with lots of sparkly diamond decorations???? Diamond shaped presents under the tree? What do I know, I don’t knit and ….dare I say it….. I’m not a Neil Diamond fan…. I just want you to win.
