Top 6 Ugly Christmas Sweaters

(It was going to be top 5, but we just couldn't narrow it down!)

As the holidays approach, the hunt intensifies...not for the perfect Christmas tree, but for the perfect ugly Christmas sweater! Maybe you have a themed party to attend; perhaps it's just to wear to work to put you in a festive spirit...either way, the attraction to ugly Christmas sweaters seems to grow each year!

Now, we know that one man's treasure is another man's trash, and what some may consider the perfect "ugly" sweater, another may consider to be his/her favorite sweater without irony, so keep that in mind as you peruse the photos in this post and check out our Ugly Christmas Sweater Pinterest board! This post is all in good fun.
