I sincerely meant to post the final Holiday Tie Tally today, but it’s a no-go. First, I slept until noon, which I never do—except today, apparently. And then, real life things (as opposed to TIE O’ THE DAY things) that needed to be dealt with kept coming up. I’m sure you know how that goes. So anyhoo… It was Judy O’ Clock before I was able to even start gathering all the holiday neckwear and props together for their bigly, annual tie-family photo. Currently, I’m still staging snapshots, taking roll, folding, preparing the off-season storage for my neckwear friends, and making all the necessary calculations for the tally announcement. I’m aiming to post the final numbers tomorrow.
For now, though, please enjoy a photo of the one Christmas Bow Tie o’ The Day and the 12 Christmas Ties o’ the Day that I hadn’t yet worn for y’all this year. Also, enjoy a few close-ups of some of these last ties. Don’t miss the Ralphie bobblehead beside Bow Tie.
BTW I can’t simply add these numbers to the current tally and come up with the total sum of all ties, because there are still photos of me wearing festive neckwear during the holidays, which you have not yet seen. And I must add those to the total too.
Almost-the-Total Holiday Tie Tally: 207 Neckties. 89 Bow Ties.
