You don&#8217;t even need a reason (like an Ugly Christmas Sweater party) to wear one. I for one, am totally supportive of this initiative. The holidays are all about relaxing and spreading joy. And what&#8217;s funnier than an ugly sweater? Besides, it&#8217;s nice to just not try to be perfect for a second, and just embrace the joy of wearing something that is not &#8220;perfect&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago, I purchased my husband an ugly sweater for Christmas. It was the &#8220;Merry Flippin Christmas&#8221; sweater that was made in response to Jose Batista&#8217;s famous bat flip. He showed me the sweater online when he first saw it. Little did he know that I would actually buy it for him. Guess what? It turned out to be the best present ever. He still wears it often &#8211; almost weekly! It is comfortable after all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12153\" src=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Merry-Flippin-xmas-512x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Merry-Flippin-xmas-512x1024.jpg 512w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Merry-Flippin-xmas-150x300.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Merry-Flippin-xmas-768x1536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Merry-Flippin-xmas-300x600.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Merry-Flippin-xmas.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last year, I found my own gem of an ugly Xmas sweater. It says &#8220;Merry Chrismukkah&#8221; on it. If you&#8217;ve been following me for a while, you know that we celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah (I&#8217;m Jewish, John isn&#8217;t).

I kind love everything about this <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2iDh3bp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rudolph 3D pon pon nose sweater<\/strong><\/a>. I might need to add it to my collection. 2. Who doesn&#8217;t love kittens? Especially ones that double as reindeer. This <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hSIG35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>reinkitty sweater<\/strong><\/a> also lights up. Now that&#8217;s awesome. 3. I may need to get this <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2zXQFCv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Maple Leafs ugly xmas sweater<\/strong><\/a> as my husband&#8217;s gift this year. 4. Back to the cats, and that this is how my immigrant self probably spelled it back in the day! This <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2BcThuA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Santa Claws<\/strong><\/a> Sweater is everything! 5. Our family is kind of obsessed with everything <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2zXzhhq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Star Wars<\/strong><\/a>, so this one just jumped out at me, but there are so many other great Star Wars options too. 6. Who doesn&#8217;t love a good #Selfi?!? I mean&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2zayaHH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>#Elfie!<\/strong><\/a>\u00a07. I love me a good cardigan, especially come winter. It&#8217;s all about total coverage. <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2zbm41a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>This ugly xmas cardigan<\/strong><\/a> is kind of festive even. 8. Celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas &#8211; than <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2Bb6rrW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>this<\/strong><\/a> sweater is for you! 9. This one is sort of an inside joke between my husband and I, but clearly we&#8217;re not the only ones who say it&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2hHZoye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>&#8220;Challah at you girl!&#8221;<\/strong><\/a>\u00a010.
