Tis the season to bundle yourself up in garish knits and ostentatious argyle, a fact that greeting card company Near Modern Disaster knows very well, prompting them to release an amusing Christmas card which reads "Happy Ugly Sweater Season" across the front of a -- well, an ugly sweater.
Forget slutty Santa costumes: this year, you can linger underneath the mistletoe wearing a hideous jumper hand-knit by your grandma. The uglier, the better, I say! You can accessorize your ugly sweater with a pair of goofy reindeer ears and a tall glass of (spiked) eggnog to really get your party started.
The Happy Ugly Sweater card is a perfect choice for those who lean towards the secular.
