It may not bear the likeness of Santa or a snowman, but the vest worn by the future President of the United States of America in the photo below could only be categorized one way: as the dreaded Christmas Sweater. Scroll down to check it out.

Are you the proud owner of similarly seasonal threads? Yes? Then send us a photo of yourself in your favorite Christmas (or Hannukah?) Sweater.

UPDATE: See the photos we've received so far and vote for your favorite!

It's the most unstylish time of the year! If you're the proud owner of a Christmas Sweater (or Hannukah Sweater or Kwanzaa Sweater), please send us a picture!

I didn't know Muslims put up X-Mass trees. Oh, the double ironies!

What an @ss! Of course Muslims who hate/fear/loathe/ resent or just would never occur to them - those Muslims wouldn't put up Christmas trees. In recent years, as with Jewish/Christian couples, so possibly with Muslim/Christian couples - sometimes will, to raise their kids to enjoy both cultures.

But, to your point - clearly intended to be a swipe, by one likely steeped in all that twisted teabagger /birther swill, - implying Obama's a Muslim. You assume this is something a Muslim would feel they had to , or want to hide?

In case you're interested, neither his mother, nor his white Christian grandparents, with whom he spent most of his growing up years, were Muslims. His birth father was not either, nor was his Indonesian step-dad - who was not keen on any religion.

Obama was not religious, nor were any of his family members. He took an interest, after working as a community organizer, when he began working with Chicago church people. He saw the spirit & efforts of those who were committing so much of their time, helping the community, on many levels.He began attending church, and it became a meaningful element of his life, so continues to this day. Think about it....what Muslim would go to a Christian church for decades, and never participate in Muslim rituals or regularly attending Mosques? What reason would someone have, to do that? Would you?

So much pure badness behind that smile. You can, however, see the meaness in his eyes.

Slow Obama day. Drag out old photo and try to find something new to say or gripe about it.

Yes, apparently you're not the only one who needs a daily Obama fix.

I'm in President Obama's corner all the way, but that sweater isn't doing it for me.
It looks like it's too big! Check out where the armholes stop!
Oh,well - at least it's not red...
Cute photo overall, though...

I just love them together, they're so cute! They seem so innocent here, who would've thought they would be in the White House approximately 20 years later? He looks so proud to be with his lady Michelle! Michelle is naturally pretty with no makeup on. Sweet picture.

i like him but don't feel the same way with her. She seems too strong and that makes me uncomfortable. And, it is difficult to trust someone who has that type of personality. I remember when she said she finally feel proud of her country ( when she was seeing that there might be a chance that he won)

Yeah, weak people are so much better. Lets hate all strong people just because...maroon.

"She seems too strong and that makes me uncomfortable."

That says WAY more about YOU than about her!
