Our beloved stalker extraordinaire Suebob has a contest going on (which has been extended to Decemeber 15th – so get over there!) to showcase your hideous and hilarious Christmas sweaters. Christmas sweaters always, ALWAYS make me laugh. I have a co-worker that wears a couple of the teacher-esque ones which I adore because well, she’s older and she reminds me of Mrs. Claus and that makes me happy.
I have been a victim of the bad Christmas sweaters as well. Not that I ever wore it, but it was a gift from grandma one year. A year where my teenage angst was at it’s greatest and I would sooner have burned the sweater than wear it.
So because I have been at the brunt of the bad sweater receiving, I am allowed to make fun. (Partially) My blog. My rules.
And! Before you say anything; these were made by someone, somewhere – therefore? Craft.
Behold The Christmas Sweaters!
It’s a behemoth Santa Claus! Run for your lives! He’s like the Incredible Hulk, only not green or angry. So really? He’s nothing like the Incredible Hulk except for the fact that he’s HUGE!
A more classic Pere Nole (minus the special little dots and accents because I don’t know how to do those) lost in the snow trudging along with his teenie tiny sack.
Sack. OF. TOYS. People! Please, this is Christmas we’re talking about.
*ahem*
Nothing says I hate you quite like a silk screen sweatshirt. But with a Christmas motif? Dude, get a restraining order, this person is about ready to lop your head off!
Grandma? Is that you?
How pray tell, are you expected to give someone a hug of good cheer when you have a Rudolph protruding from your chest like that dude from Alien? **use caution while clicking that link. If you’re reckless like me, then have at it!
The blue nail polish just accentuates the horrible-ness of this uggers cat theme. And, why the sash of holly and snowflakes? I don’t get it.
Sweet baby Jesus. Santa looks like he has a pecker for a nose and soggy wet toilet paper for a beard.
Am. Sold.
So, if you’re looking to buy yourself a classic Christmas sweater like these check out Ebay because there’s something like eleventy million of them for sale.
Why had I not known about Ebay when I got that damn Scotty dog sweater? *sigh*
This was so fun I am going to do another version – this time? The vest.
Oh ya, baby.
The Vest.
You’re Welcome.

Does the silk screen sweatshirt have a puff paint outline? If so, sign me up. Nothing says “I am super cool” like puff paint decor.

I kind of love that last one. I mean, I would wear it. Wow. Hi, I am my Granny.

How delightfully horrific! My mom has a Christmas sweater that is about on par with these. She’s had it for twenty years and she still wears it every year. Awesome.

The protruding reindeer sweater is just frightening.

LOL… Some of these are atrocious, if not all of them! Actually, I think I could use one of these for the Ugly Holiday Sweater Party that I am going to tomorrow night!

The reindeer? My husband has one.
I won’t claim it.
At least it’s not on a sweater.

That reminds me of when I was in high school…we had these portable Christmas lights. My mom would “suggest” I wrap the lights around me and look like a Christmas tree. I loved it…but looking back it was the corniest thing around!!

My, my, those are disturbing.
Found your blog via someone else’s tweet. So funny, love it.

Dude. Can I use some of these for my ugly sweater gallery? Srsly…I have one. It’s small, still, but that 3D reindeer NEEDS to be in it. (http://regrettablesweaters.blogspot.com)

Some of these are actually terrifying. You just know someone somewhere is going to proudly wear something like this in the name of the Christmas spirit.

All I want for Christmas is that protruding Rudolph shirt. Santa, can you hear me?
