While perusing the Kardashian Kollection at Sears two weeks ago, I came across a lovely Christmas sweater that lit up and weighed approximately 16 pounds.  If it hadn’t been for my resolution to not buy myself anything through the holiday season, I would have picked that puppy up in a second because this year our library staff party was centered on the idea of ugly Christmas sweaters.

It turns out that we are totally on trend right now here at the Public Law Library.  According to a recent article in the Seattle Times, ugly sweaters are all the rage.  In fact, they could almost be considered ironic enough for hipsters except these sweaters are now deemed popular.  So popular, in fact, that you can now forego the thrift shops and holiday shoppers and go online to UltimateUglySweaters.com for all your ugly attire needs.  So while it may be too late for this year, bookmark this site for your next your holiday party needs.

Oh, and if anyone is curious, Rick Stroup won the Ugly Sweater contest here at the library.  No one’s sweater even came close.  Happy Holidays everyone!
