The Most Ugliest Time Of The Year


So you probably know that there's an ugly christmas sweater fad - parties, jokes in movies, etc. It used to be that an ugly christmas sweater was a piece of found art. Now, at least on ebay, it's become a cottage industry, with sellers creating and marketing thousands of Ugly Christmas Sweaters. And the accompanying modelling philosphy is to pose looking as much like a jackass as possible. I object, mildly to the organic nature of the ugly christmas sweater being taken away, but goldarnit this is America and Americans are capitalists, and ebayers chief among them.
Thanks to Carin for this gem!

  1. This looks like a holiday t-shirt my mother-in-law gave to me, extra-large. That year I also received breath mints, a toothbrush, and toothpaste from her (???) We'd barely pulled out of her driveway when my husband said, "You don't have to keep the shirt, honey." The shirt found a new residence inside a golf course garbage can.
