Buy Ugly Christmas Sweaters - Top Ten signs you have the Best Ugly Christmas Sweater

As Christmas approaches the pickings are slim for a great Ugly Christmas Sweater.

The vernacular may be "ugly christmas sweater" but I get invites to this type of themed party throughout the year. Wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater is not reserved for holiday parties. Im thinking its a bit more powerful of a message to wear the sweater during a ridiculous and random day.

Man in Gas Station #1: "Hey, Did you see that guy in the ridiculous Rudolph sweater, that damn thing was actually jingling"

Man #2: "yeah!, it was awesome, must be sweating his face off, its near 90, out there"

..well, maybe "awesome" is a bit of an exaggeration - nonetheless, I have a bunch of resources for speedy delivery of some truly awful and awe inspiring ugly christmas sweaters

It used to be that the consignment shops such as Salvation Army, AmVets and similar ilk were prime pickings for loud, ugly holiday sweaters from the 80's. This selection tends to dwindle around the holiday season. The Ugly Christmas sweater tradition is in full bloom. You can now often find ugly christmas sweaters marketed new in retail and used and vintage offerings at a premium price at Boutique shops.

In order to open up your choices, you can shop for them at eBay or Amazon, both which offer many prime options, often not intentionally but they are certainly suited for an ugly christmas sweater party.

You know them when you see them.

Its near impossible to receive an ugly christmas sweater in time for Christmas If you buy online at the time this article was published. If you are to need it near christmas you are likley to find a seller on eBay that will promise same day rush shipping. This is not something likely found on Amazon. But, the estimated ship time and one day shipping together can lead to some very fast shipping times if you are willing to pay for it on Amazon.

Both options should be solid for finding great sweaters.

Here is a couple of classic examples for you: (just click the picture for more detailed information)

Yes, Ugly sweatshirts are interchangeable with ugly sweaters.

A great Ugly Christmas Party Sweater is always loud. The louder and more audacious the better.

We are talking, bright and bold colors, terrible color coordination, fuzzy balls, big appliques, bells, lights! , or all of the above combined.

Its best to go all out with a Christmas Sweater.

1. It lights up.

If you have a christmas sweater that lights up - you have the contest clinched

2. It makes sounds or plays music.

an Ugly Christmas Sweater with Bells or even better a Sweater that plays pre-recorded electronic jingles is particularly awful.

3. Puffy crap that sticks out

If you can grab a sweater with a puffy applique of some sort, you have done a solid job. You are sure to shine (well, the girl with the lights on her sweater will shine brighter..thats why you are only number 3)

4. Your holiday sweater is actually a christmas sweater vest

If you buy your sweater in the vest section or find something called a Christmas cardigan then you have hit the jackpot.

Signs six through ten are boring. Just go back and buy one of the highlighted sweaters. Bah Humbug!
