And now, presenting a guest blog from Sam, one of the most colorful SocialVibe employees.
So it’s already December, which means my favorite part of the year is rapidly approaching: Christmas. Christmas stands for many things - spending time with family and loved ones, giving and receiving gifts, awesome food, clay-mation specials on ABC, and of course the religious significance of the holiday. While all of these factors certainly contribute to the joy surrounding this holiday, what excites me most about Christmas is that it provides an open, uncensored forum for people to sport some of the most ridiculous outfits imaginable.
Yes, boys and girls…I am speaking of the illustrious Christmas sweater. What was once looked upon as a fashionably-classy and somehow appropriate means of dressing has fallen out of the spotlight…admonished by society.
I am here to celebrate a piece of Christmas that many people have forgotten about. As a tribute to the true Christmas Heroes, I have selected the Top 5 Ugliest Christmas Sweaters that I have ever seen…
5. We begin with something so innocent, yet so very, very wrong. This is what happens when the Swiss Family Robinson is stranded on an island during the holidays, with only three colors of yarn and one narrow-minded crocheter.
4. I realize that the elderly probably stop buying new clothes after a certain age, but seriously? Sweet headband.
3. Not only does each family member outdo the next with a majestic wardrobe selection, but I don’t think there is one visible cornea in this entire picture. Those are some strong family ties. That, and I’m pretty sure the photographer snuck into the shot while everyone had their eyes closed.
2. I know “The Pacifier” wasn’t the best career move for Vin Diesel, but posing for holiday apparel? My goodness, when it rains it pours. First, it’s not everyday that you see a turtleneck layered with a vest; amazing ingenuity. But I would just like to say, putting cats and mice on the same piece of clothing – very “peace on earthy”.
1. And for the grand finale, Moose, the pug. I think he even knows how ridiculous he looks. Poor guy.
This has been a special presentation, brought to you by SocialVibe.
Got a picture of you in an especially horrendous holiday sweater? Don't be selfish, share it with us: editors@socialvibe.com - especially if there is a pink ball involved.
