Get the Look: Ugly Christmas Sweaters‏

Remember the days when you'd get a craftily knitted Christmas sweater from your aunt or grandma? “I love it, thanks,” you'd mumble, devastated that this meant you wouldn't be getting a new Nintendo or the latest Tickle Me Elmo. Now that you are older, wiser and less materialistic (right?), you look to those simpler days of nostalgia and seek to emulate them (right?). What better way to do it than to cozy up in a comfy Christmas sweater? Whether you prefer iconic or ironic, it's time to jingle all the way into some Christmas cheer.
