Skelly's ornament for today - Ratty Christmas Sweater
Alright, here's the deal. I got up this morning with full intention of putting together a post bemoaning the creepy tradition of the dreaded Christmas sweater. The kind of knitted nightmare your aunt wears for Christmas dinner that smells of perfume and cigarette smoke and is decorated with all the junk from the bottom of the decoration box.
But to my HORROR I have discovered that the Christmas sweater is....BACK!!
There are songs, books, videos and entire websites devoted to this hideous holiday fashion.
There is even an ODE TO UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER.
That's not all, there are video's teaching you how to wear them...what! Tutorials on how to throw an ugly Christmas sweater office party...dear god...isn't it bad enough that we have to fork over for a secret Santa gift every year, now we have to wear a ridiculous Christmas sweater as well.
You can get them for your dog
Or your sweater can BE A DOG
Why not get one made up for your guinea pig
Or how about wrapping your overheated kitty in a nice warm sweater and see what happens.
Leave it to my fellow Canadian compatriots to come up with a crazy website
devoted entirely to the Christmas Sweater.
There's even a video on how to make one that LIGHTS UP
THEN THIS UNSPEAKABLE HORROR CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET
Who would make such a thing?
YOUR CRAZY AUNT THAT'S WHO!
Save yourself now...runnnnnn!
THEN THIS UNSPEAKABLE HORROR CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET
Who would wear such a thing?
YOUR CRAZY AUNT THAT'S WHO!
One of our Daily TV shows did a interview with a woman who knits them all the time. Hideous.
ReplyDeleteBhahhaahaaa... I sorta ~ kinda like the ratty in the sweater ;o) ! Faythe @ GMT
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!!! That rat is hilarious. He's wearing that sweater with attitude. I agree these things are awful and Halloween ones as well, its criminal.
ReplyDeleteIt's back alright. I just was asked if I owned one because a friend of mines 18 year old is going to a tacky Christmas sweater party and she needs to borrow one! I have to say I was no help. But really when kids start to theme their parties around these things, I get a little scared.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA that is just great. Lilly loves her some sweater when it is cold out, but man, some of those are just awful!
ReplyDeleteROFL this makes me laugh... those sweaters are hideous.
ReplyDeleteThere are always tons of tacky sweater parties to go to this time of year! It's crazy how expensive some of them can go for...it seems the tackier they are, the more expensive they are!
ReplyDeleteQuite possibly the scariest post all month ;-)
ReplyDeleteUmm...I thought the guinea pig was kind of cute...
