It's Christmas Eve. You excuse yourself from dinner and escape to the bedroom, where you change into a red thong, some festive PJ shorts, a red lace camisole, red bra, and this hat. Yeah, you know the hat does the job. You walk out, candy cane in your hand, and lean against the door post under the mistletoe. It's going to be a long night.

My best friend had bought one a few years ago, bragged about her Christmas adventures last year, and I decided it was about time to get one of my own. Originally I was concerned that it would look stupid on me. It doesn't, it really doesn't. The best part is that the material is high quality, it doesn't look cheap at all. At least, I don't think so.

My boyfriend lives about eight hours away so I packed it into my suitcase, hopped on a train, and spent Winter Holiday with him. He knew I had bought a surprise for him, but he didn't know what it was. He was clearly pleased and couldn't keep his eyes off me the entire evening. I'd like to think it was because of my radiant beauty. It might have just been the ridiculous hat. But either way, it's a good thing.

This hat is so versatile. You can wear it to the Christmas party at work, go caroling, or whatever, and then wear it while giving your boyfriend head a few hours later. It's awesome. It's so useful for numerous situations and it's the best Christmas accessory to your sex life. Incorporate a camera, some egg nog, you're good to go.

I had a really great time coordinating an outfit to match the red and white. I just didn't own any red before this past winter, so I used the hat as an excuse to go shopping, too! The only possible downside is hat hair, I guess. It's totally worth it, though.
