Did Santa bring you an ugly sweater this Christmas?

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's great to see you today, y'know! Thanks for clicking by. Cyberspace must be loaded with Christmas travellers, eh. Fill your mug and grab a virtual Christmas doughnut, why don't'cha. Question for you...Did Santa bring you an ugly sweater this Christmas?

Ugly Christmas sweaters (UCS) are all the rage in the U.S. and Canada. Stores all over North America stocked up on the most hideous novelty sweaters this holiday season.

F as in Frank, a vintage store in British Columbia, is one of the places selling the tacky woolen garments. Co-owner Drew Heifetz says that he has sold over 30,000 sweaters this year alone. “We’re trying to breathe new life into them and everyone is really coming together creating a culture around these sweaters and it’s been an amazing resurgence,” he said. “Really, it’s about having a good time, getting wild wearing the craziest sweater you can.”

Photographs on the internet show people wearing the most hideous sweaters conceivable. Some of them have Christmas tree ornaments hanging off them, others light up and some even have Santa with a furry beard. These sweaters were in fashion last year too, with the sweater industry reporting record sales during Christmas. But it looks like this year’s sales will break all records.

Well now...the closest thing I have to a Christmas sweater is a white Nordic ski sweater but since I don't ski, the sweater gets worn once a year around Christmas time. Does that qualify? 

Nah...probably not. Too classy and symetrical...just like my bod, eh? Hey...why don't you send me a picture of your ugly Christmas sweater and I'll feature it in a post in a few days? 

See ya, eh!
