The Ugly Christmas Sweater

 

I’m certain it’s the fashion trend you secretly love – one way or another. The Ugly Christmas Sweater! 

I’m not sure who decided Christmas sweaters were just ugly in general but I think their thought process backfired. If people weren’t embracing the sweater, they would not be for sale in our stores. I believe everybody probably owns one, too. They may not wear it outside of their home, but I think they own at least one. 

1 have several and I look forward to wearing them. It's just fun in general, and they make for great conversation started, whether you love them or hate them. You know someone will have a comment to make on them and enjoy a laugh. My grandchildren are kind of disappointed if they stop by and I'm not wearing an ugly sweater or at the least a Christmas sweatshirt or t-shirt in December.

The sweaters make me think back (way back...) to the days of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, when they would leave the beach and go to the ski lodge. All the cute snow bunnies were always sporting their most stylish sweaters!

So, cheers to the Ugly Christmas Sweater! Wear it with pride!
