Ugly sweaters are a staple during the holiday season. In fact, Christmas is the one time of year when you can get away with wearing the most disgustingly tacky sweaters known to man without an inkling of judgement.
If you don't own an ugly Christmas sweater, I'm slightly disappointed, but mostly shocked you've never been invited to an Ugly Christmas Sweater themed party. However, if this is the year you finally get to experience the joys of adorning your body in the most delightfully despicable of garments, fear not -- for behold -- I bring you tidings of great joy. Instead of rushing out to your closest department store, take the time to make your own ugly Christmas sweater.
To inspire you in your DIY Christmas mission, here are 12 of the tackiest Christmas sweaters money can't buy.
1. A vomiting reindeer.
Looks like Rudolph was just a bit too hyped for Christmas this year.
2. Ginger snap.
Everyone loves sassy puns and gingerbread (if not, get out of here). Why not put the two together on a snappy Christmas sweater?
3. Feel the joy.
This is your grandma's kind of inappropriate.
4. Hung with care.
Plain ol' Christmas sweaters are for amateurs. Take if up a notch and be an entire mantle, embellished with the most essential Christmas decor of course.
5. Kristmas kook.
If you want a Christmas sweater complete with all the worst parts of every awful Christmas sweater your great-aunt Patty owns, take heed.
6. The snow globe.
When you've had your fifth cup of eggnog and "All I Want for Christmas is You" comes on, you'll be sure to remind everyone of how mesmerizing it was to shake a snow globe over and over again when they were kids.
7. Ho, Ho, Ho.
If you're looking to get a little cheeky for Christmas, this is the sweater for you.
8. Christmas (tie) tree.
This is probably the tackiest sweater on the list, but no other sweater says "I mean business" quite like this one does.
9. All aboard the...
Is this sweater making light of a common mental illness? ,Possibly, but it's too good not to include.
10. A Christmas story.
Be careful when crafting this masterpiece, it's FRA-GI-LE!
11. Open season.
Open season has officially been declared on all Rudolph stuffed animals everywhere. Don't want to place him above your mantle? Put him on an ugly Christmas sweater instead.
12. A Madonna Christmas.
