Tacky [ Ugly ] Christmas Sweaters....do you have one lurking in your closet?

Do you have a tacky or let's face it, a downright ugly Christmas Sweater lurking in your closet? Well, The Seattle Times held it's second annual Tackiest [Ugly] Christmas Sweater Contest this December and the winners were announced on Sunday.

The article; "We're in Stitches" gives readers the winner as well as some runner ups in their contest in the hunt for the best, er worst Christmas Sweater in Seattle...at least this year! Be sure to check out their link for a gallery of 18 more photos of tacky Christmas Sweaters...so how does yours [ 'fess up! ] compare? Would you have been the winner?

Looks fun Deborah! I'm sooo certain there are many such sweaters - if you want to buy a good new men's sweater, just go to Value Village - there are rows upon rows of never worn brand new sweaters!!

In my college years to help pay for my college apartment which happened to be in Tacoma, I worked for a company that sold crap like that. It was embarrassing to tell people where I worked and for some reason I didn't take any of the free sweaters they offered us. - lol

Hi Deborah - Value Village is exactly where many of the contestants bought their Christmas Sweaters! Thanks for letting me know the link wasn't working...should work now!

Hi Todd - Oh, now see what you are missing out on! You could have had first pick of the Tackiest [ Ugliest ] Christmas Sweater and amazed your friends!
