The Ugly Christmas Jumper

Self explanatory, no?

Considered a competitive sport back in the 80's, rellies trying to outdo each other in the tacky dress stakes at Christmas time. More glitter, more pompoms, more fur (or felt), more knit.... Endless embellishment possibilities. Jumpers dedicated to St Nick and Rudolph and not to mention, the accompanied festive cheer. If you're not donning an ear-to-ear smile 24/7 and finishing off sentences with Fa la la la la lalalala, then I'm sorry, you're out of the running. Matching earrings, mittens, socks or hats earn bonus points. It's about the WHOLE package. So dear old Nanna Norma really did mean well when she gifted you that fine piece of Christmas attire many moons ago. She got you in 'The Club'.

We may have forgotton about these heinous fashion crimes for a decade or so, but guess what?!! Ugly is making a comeback.... It's the new black. Time to dust off the moth balls ladies and show us your best (worst) Christmas apparel. Don't think that living in the hot Southern hemisphere gets you off the hook either. We know YOU and your fam rocked the T-shirt and singlet versions around the pool.... Well, mine did anyway.

"Briiiiaaaaan!!! Throw another shrimp on the barbie!"


Vin Diesel?? Not so fast and furious here


Just plain creepy, however an appropriate 'sleeveless' choice to suit the Aussie climate


Family photo anyone? Credit to him for the ugly layering effort. Is that a lamb on her lap?


Hot Ugly Jumper. I'll take one of these anyday!

DIY- if you want to join the Ugly Jumper Club, stick a heap of Christmas shit on an old 'pullover' and wear a snowman hat/mask as a disguise. No one will ever know its you.
