Every December one man gets promoted to Light Show Manager, with no raise and no say in the extension cords. This dad Christmas shirt is for him, and his family will be the ones who buy it.
The art is a vintage Christmas-card scene: a bearded guy in a knit cap on a wooden ladder at the roofline, tangled up in a strand of oversized red, orange, sage and cream bulbs with the calmest face you have ever seen. LIGHT SHOW MANAGER arches above him in hand-drawn capitals, with (UNPAID) in small capitals beneath it, and the edges break up into worn screen-print texture.
Wear it on the ladder, at the neighborhood light walk or at the family dinner where everyone checks whether the lights came on this year. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
- What does the shirt say?
- LIGHT SHOW MANAGER in an arch over the ladder guy, with (UNPAID) in small capitals underneath.
- Why are there no dark colors?
- The drawing uses navy linework, which would disappear on dark fabric, so we only offer light and mid colors where every line reads.
- Does it fit big and tall guys?
- It is a classic unisex cut that runs in S through 4XL (Sage stops at 2XL). Order your usual size, or go up one if you plan to layer it under a flannel.
- How do I wash this graphic tee?
- Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
