What do you really think of holiday sweaters?

1 Answer

Answer :

I didn’t realize that holiday sweaters were enough of a thing to get press attention. In fact, I didn’t realize that holiday sweaters were a distinct category of sweaters in the first place. If the decoration on your new sweater is subtle, though, I don’t see how it could really be a problem. I would imagine it’s those over-the-top designs that are considered ugly.
