12 Of The Tackiest Christmas Sweaters Money Can't Buy

VAT 19

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.

Huge Madonna fan? Prove it to the world.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

You are basically a zombie with a pencil.

You receive confused looks from others when you name drop an author/literary terminology.

You wear your suffering as a badge.

You proofread every text and social media post you write.

You cringe when you read a non-English major's paper,

You could spend all day in a library.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

The good old days are always happening now, so live in the moment.

“Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica” are the three most important topics one can talk about.

The Dundies are cooler than the Oscars.

Everybody has a Toby, and they are just someone you have to learn to deal with.

Group pictures are hard to take (especially jumping pics).

It's never too early to eat ice cream.

Schrute’s are always prepared for anything.

Except pop culture references...

Holidays are important and a very good reason to host any kind of party.

There will always be cynical co-workers to deal with.

Putting things in Jell-O is a great use of your time.

Sometimes funny voices and personas make awkward situations easier (just ask Prison Mike).

That places you may not always love can bring you the people you love.

Determination is an important characteristic to possess.

Sarcasm is essential in everyday life.

Love can be really weird.

At Halloween time, it is trivial to come with your best costume ready.

Friendship is long lasting no matter where the future takes you.

Pranks are funny no matter the age.

Goodbyes are hard, but reunions are worth it.

Blogs are confusing.

"That's what she said" jokes will never get old.

Jim Halpert can say so much with just a look at the camera.

Bros should always come before hoes because...

Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.

"The Office" truly does have a lot that it can teach us.

Ah, pre-med: home of the dead at heart.

1. You have forsaken all your friends for coffee.

2. 8 hours of sleep? Try 4 instead.

3. Everyone asks you for medical advice, even though you’re not a doctor yet.

4. Your second home is the library.

5. Almost all of your nightmares are about school and exams.

6. You don’t see the problem with taking 3 technicals in one semester.

7. Research, research, research, research, research.

8. You volunteer more than any of your friends.

9. You like going to labs more than going to lecture.

10. But, you know it’ll all be worth the struggle the day you don that white coat and call yourself a doctor.

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.
