The holiday season is in full swing, and that means people are partying it up to celebrate cheer, peace on Earth and even some religious things, too. And when you're getting ready to party, the right outfit is absolutely essential.
The so-called "ugly Christmas sweater" has long been a staple of holiday celebrations, and as the hipster movement in America gained strength in the past couple of years, these pull-overs have become even more of a favorite of those hoping to look ironic. Unfortunately, if you don't celebrate Christmas, you might feel a little left out of the fun.
