Hey Everyone,

Are you having a busy time of preparing for Christmas events at church and with family?

How about taking a break from all the hustle and bustle by participating in one of the most popular of holiday traditions -- The Ugly Christmas Sweater!!! Now I have to confess, I fibbed a bit in the thread title. This isn't actually an "annual" thing on CC -- I last wrote about this topic in 2019 -- but we all love traditions, so we can at least pretend this topic is a yearly tradition!

Ugly Christmas Sweaters -- you've seen them, you've worn them (don't worry, we won't tell anybody :cool:) -- and now you get to share them with other people!

Go ahead, post your best (or worst) pictures of the most ridiculous holiday attire, whether it be for people, pets, cars (how many SUV'S have YOU passed today sporting red noses and reindeer antlers?!), decorations, food -- anything eye-rollingly bad but family-friendly is good! :LOL:

Everyone is welcome to post. :)

And so, to kick things off and get those (gawdy) holiday garments rolling... Who needs JUST an ugly Christmas Sweater when you can have an entire(ly) ugly Christmas Suit! (Seeing as even the tie matches, I have to wonder if he has socks with the same print as well.) :D

And you could always take The Grinch's route, making sure to cover all the bases -- while also insulting everyone in the process!

Please also feel free to include your own observations of (especially if you can't or don't want to post pictures!,) for example:

* Describe the most hideous Christmas outfit/accessory you've ever seen (or worn, or was given!)

* Tell us about Christmas decorations that should be outlawed -- and which ones already are -- by the HOA (Home Owner's Association.)

* What other Christmas disasters have you survived? (Kitchen disasters, like dropping the food, burned cookies, recipes that didn't turn out quite right, etc.)

* And, for only the very brave -- what are some of the ugliest, most obnoxious Christmas things you've seen -- but actually LIKED?! (GASP!)

I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions of the very best -- of the very worst! :eek::geek::p


Necessary Disclaimer:

This thread is meant to be just a bit of lighthearted fun amidst what can be a very stressful season. Anyone wanting to make serious posts about Christmas (such as the opinion that people should be posting only Scripture and not pictures of ugly sweaters, etc.) is welcome to do so -- in your very own thread. :)

Merry Christmas!! 🙏🎄❄️✝️❤️

A case where the ugliest is the most beautiful. This brings to mind the most recent event of my fostering a queen and her four kittens, which have since all gone to their new homes. At the end of the venture the name that I called the weakest, most miserable looking one, "David," stuck. And, at the first introduction to solid food, I found that he had the appetite of a lion and he developed into the regal pick of the litter...

How has this thread managed to bring me to such a tear-eyed state?!:confused:

I've always had a very soft spot in my heart for underdogs of any background -- and species.

This also brings to mind the infamous Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.

It still brings a tear to my eye when Linus declares that all this little underdog needs is a little love.

Don't we all! ❤️

1765217863937.pngThe search algorithm knows far too much about me as it retrieved this for me in answer to my inquiry for 'the most beautiful Christmas sweater" I love everything about it!
 
This isn't an outlandish Christmas sweater, but for me it's about the best it gets lol. I love sweaters, but I'm not keen on this one. I probably won't wear it again. I guess you could say that to me this is an ugly sweater and it's Christmas time...so it's the best I've got of me in an ugly Christmas sweater ⛄

I love how this sweater makes you look like a fancifully wrapped present. :D

Quite smashing, indeed!
 


All hail Marvin the Martian!

I was hoping to find a matching Christmas sweater with Michigan J. Frog, but alas. :cry:

I did, however, find another frog sweater:

I was never into Harry Potter, but I thought this design (featuring the famous Chocolate Frog,) was kind of cool.
 
Who else feels sorry for all the pets who get roped into starring in holiday Instagram pictures?! :oops:

When my boys were little (K/1st/2nd grade) I woke up one morning, realized I had forgotten it was Ugly Christmas sweater day at school :eek:
They didn't own any Christmas sweaters SO we ran to the store on our way to school and bought a bunch of Christmas stickers and stuck them all over their regular sweaters :LOL:
