It's An Ugly Christmas Sweater Party! 20 Amazingly Awful Looks

As jam-packed as the holiday party season is, many of us have made room for a new go-to event in recent years: the ugly Christmas sweater party. The tradition reportedly got its start in 2001, when two guys in Vancouver, Canada, threw the first official fugly function of its kind. Since then, the idea has not only spread to the States but all over the Internet, where many of the world's most terribly tacky sweaters live on. National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day isn't until December 20, so there's still plenty of time to buy (hint: eBay is a goldmine) or make (YouTube tutorials galore!) the most ghastly and repugnant sweater you possibly can. Here, some inspiration for your ugly Christmas sweater hunt.
