It's that time of year: Christmas trees, fun shopping, bright decorations, family get-togethers, and the not to be forgotten ugly Christmas sweaters.

If you were to travel back in time to twenty years ago, Ugly Christmas Sweaters would be nothing more than how you refer to the sweaters your aunts and uncles showed up in on Christmas day (and the disappointed feeling you had when instead of a toy or video game, you received a sweater you wouldn't be caught dead wearing).

Since the first Ugly Christmas Sweater parties in the early 2000s, however, the ugly sweaters trend has become a yearly tradition that's becoming more and more popular each year.
