[High quality] Custom deck the halls with skulls and bodies fa-la-la-la valhalla-la viking ugly christmas sweater

It isn’t the dazzling fir trees and wreaths, eggnog, stockings, or the office secret Santa who has arrived. During the previous decade, the ugly Christmas sweater became firmly entrenched in yuletide culture. It’s something you’ve seen before. It’s a woolly pullover with a snowman, tinsel, a reindeer, or candy canes on it, usually in various shades of red, white, and green, and at least one Christmas-inspired image on it — a snowman, tinsel, a reindeer, or candy canes — usually in various shades of red, white, and green, and often of dubious fabric.

It gets bonus points if it has 3D pom-poms or jingle bells. The garment has quickly become a key component of the holiday season, becoming as ubiquitous as Christmas lights and wrapping paper. It’s ludicrous and garish, but it’s also pleasant and wholesome, like something out of a Hallmark Christmas movie (with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek). The UCS, on the other hand, took some time to establish itself in the pantheon of Christmas must-haves. Pullovers with Christmas designs initially appeared in the 1950s, likely in response to the holiday’s growing commercialisation. They weren’t as garish as today’s versions and didn’t sell much, though certain TV stars, particularly crooners Val Doonican and Andy Williams, embraced the ugly side of the holiday topper. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the item became well-known. The metamorphosis was influenced by pop culture and comedies, with characters such as Chevy Chase’s Clark Griswold in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” transforming the holiday sweater into an unsightly but endearing display of delight.

Sweaters with snowflakes on them weren’t stylish, but they emanated yule and were worn at company parties and on Christmas Day – Custom deck the halls with skulls and bodies fa-la-la-la valhalla-la viking ugly christmas sweater

The renaissance lasted only a few months. The Christmas sweater fell out of favour in the 1990s, and it was something that only your out-of-style elderly relatives would wear or give as a gift. By the turn of the 2000, the garment had mainly been dismissed as a fashion faux pas. Consider Colin Firth’s Mark Darcy in “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” in which he approaches Bridget (Renée Zellweger) at a family party wearing a hideous knitted suit complete with a huge red-nosed reindeer. Bridget is completely taken aback. You were probably in the same boat if you saw it in the theatre. You, on the other hand, are likely to have smiled. The UCS has such a pleasant effect. This now-iconic Christmas custom was given a new lease on life in the early 2000s. According to the “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Book: The Definitive Guide to Getting Your Ugly On,” Christmas sweater parties began around the time Bridget was recoiling at Darcy’s outfit. Brian Miller, one of the book’s authors and the founder of the web company SWAGTEESHIRT.COM, stated in a phone interview that the first gathering took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2002.

“It’s hard to say what triggered the shift in perspective, but I believe that the moment someone wore the garment in a humorous way, people started to see the comic side of it, and they started to think, ‘this thing in the back of the closet could be fun, instead of something awful that no one wants,'” he said. The popularity of the ugly sweater soared from there. According to Miller, the festive knit established “a new holiday habit” during the next decade. He went on to say, “It became mistletoe for our generation.” “Which, when you consider it, is very amazing.” Fast-fashion behemoths like Topshop and high-end retailers like Nordstrom began loading their shelves and websites with garish designs each holiday season. To cash in on the trend, vintage stores like the Salvation Army stocked up on fuzzy snowmen and dancing Santa pullovers. The fashion set, too, experienced a change of heart. Stella McCartney released a polar bear-themed alpine sweater in 2007. Following Givenchy in 2010, Dolce & Gabbana followed in 2011.

 The ugly sweater mania reached a tipping point in 2012. Save the Children, a UK charity, has introduced Christmas Jumper Day, a fundraising event that encourages people to wear their most hideous sweaters. The item was labeled as “this season’s must-have” by the British newspaper The Telegraph, while the New York Times reported on ugly Christmas sweater-themed races, pub crawls, and specialty e-tailers blooming across the United States. At the same time, the knits started to incorporate more tinsel, bells, and zany features, achieving peak kitsch. Taylor Swift and Kanye West were among the celebrities that embraced the idea. Jimmy Fallon, the late-night talk show presenter, even began a regular program called “12 Days of Christmas Sweaters,” which is still on the air today. In fact, the development of social media has only added to the ugly sweater’s ‘It’ status. Today, everyone from mass retailer Target to fast food chain Red Lobster (whose UCS features a pocket to keep food warm) and more fashion houses compete to show off their Christmas-sweater love on Instagram, while everyone from mass retailer Target to fast food chain Red Lobster (whose UCS features a pocket to keep food warm) and more fashion houses offer their own versions of the garment. “I never imagined the garment would take off like this when I went to my first Ugly Sweater Party in the early 2000s,” Miller said. “Although it’s easy to see why: everyone can wear ugly knits, from my daughter at her school’s ugly sweater contest to office workers at their end-of-year party. They are democratic in nature. They’re also a lot of fun. Christmas may be a stressful time, so dressing up in something ludicrous can help relieve some of the stress.”
