'Tis the season for ugly holiday sweaters! But rather than snark about the truly bizarre and gaudy nature of most holiday sweaters, we've decided to embrace it. Why not glue a puffy snowman doll to your shirt? Why not just go crazy with the tinsel? Give us as many unrelated Christmas scenes on one sweater as possible!
