What’s Fuglier than an Ugly Christmas Sweater?
Over the years, I’ve received a few ugly Christmas sweaters. My favorite was a bright red sweater with too many dancing reindeers that I received when I was about 10 years old. At the time, I didn’t know it was ugly. It had to be pointed out to me by a dear, older friend – she was 11 and I couldn’t refute her wisdom.
Now, that the ugly Christmas sweater is fashionable, I’m feeling a bit lost. Does this mean that I was always fashionable and just didn’t know it? Or, that I was a trendsetter ahead of my time? And, most importantly, could I trust my instincts and answer the greatest question of the holiday time, “What’s Fuglier than an Ugly Christmas Sweater?!”
So, I sat down and I made a list of what I think is utterly fugly. I’m sure I could add tons more but I’ll leave you with these.
