WASHINGTON Dec. 18 is National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, so head to grandma s closet and search for the ugliest sweater out there.
Since 2011, the recognition of some of Christmas s ugliest fashion has been celebrated on the third Friday of December. The day is meant to lighten up the the busy holidays and to show off their absurdly, ugly sweaters, according to the National Day Calendar.
Even if you are without an ugly holiday sweater at home, make your own with clashing colors, bells, felt, a collar or even flashing lights.

Since the pandemic has put an immediate halt on any holiday frivolity to be had this year, nobody gets a chance to show off their latest yuletide yuck yarn ball at any gatherings or parties this year. Well, we thought that just wasn t fair. Some of the sweaters I ve seen at least are too funny not to be shared with the world.
The best part about the ugly Christmas sweater trend is that the uglier they are, the better! There s a reason bars and clubs have started giving out Ugliest Christmas Sweater awards to patrons over the last few years. The uglier the sweater, the bigger of a crowd-pleaser it is.
