"Every December, people of all stripes make the rounds of their neighborhood Christmas parties decked in their ugliest Christmas sweaters (see our list for 2012 here). Prizes are often offered at these seasonal soirees for the tackiest v-neck or wool knit, sparking fierce competition among family and friends."
If you haven’t snagged your piece of atrocious holiday outerwear yet, we know where you can glory in the gaudy, revel in the revolting, and win that coveted prize: our ugly Christmas sweaters page. In honor of the 12 days of Christmas, we’ve ranked our favorites from best to worst (or is it the other way around?). So pop a dramamine, sit back, and enjoy. Some are still for sale, but hurry: with looks this ugly, these sweaters won’t last."You have a picture of a Christmas sweater you want to share with us? Email it to me, include a note if you like, and I make our own Christmas Sweater Collage.

I knew holding on to the doozies I owned and wore in years gone by would have made them worth something someday, but sadly they were given away in the name of Good Will and Salvation.
My current disconnect involves this year's selection of wrapping papers in shades of shocking pink and bilious green with some heavy additions of black. It seems off and doesn't suit my fancy. And it makes the traditional stuff appear even more staid and ho-hum, causing me to feel mentally out of season.
I like those sweaters and that wrapping paper sounds perfect.
I am colorblind.
A few years ago it was watermelon and lime colors.
Those 12 sweaters look like they'd fit in with most Christmas sweaters, that is, it would be hard to choose only 12.
The uglier the sweater the more sincere your affection for the addled relative who gifted you with it.
There was an episode of The Big Bang Theory where Leonard has to wear a sweater given to him by some dotty aunt or someone and he's tormented by some kind of dermatitis or something all over his torso.
Looks like I'll not do better than THIS.
Oh, well.
