E-Bathing:Decorate Yourself

Many people decide to decorate the exteriors and interiors of their homes at this time of year, and some people go a little overboard with their Christmas cheer. Christmas light insanity aside, there is another craze that the holiday season inspires: holiday sweaters. There are individuals among us who take their decorating beyond the tree and actually festoon themselves in sparkly red and green raiment. (A lot of these people are moms). After the jump, a variety of holiday sweaters that will make the season bright.

There are two groups of people who are generally interested in holiday sweaters: moms and snarky young people. Given my stance on children, you can probably guess which of these two categories describes me. HA! Tricked you! Though I am snarky, I am interest in Christmas sweaters is purely genuine, devoid of all irony. I attribute this fascination to a sweater my mom had when I was younger. It had a Christmas tree with actual blinking lights. AWESOME! My interest, combined with the ever growing readership of tub-moms, means that I shall refrain from mocking the sweaters I found.  Instead, I shall let the artisanal sweaters I have found on EBay dazzle you with their pictures alone.

Twenty dollars will get you this sweater which depicts two dogs barooing.

Meanwhile, an investment of $35 will get you this gingerbread sweater vest.
Ten dollars will get you this bizarre* sweater**.  (*I know I said I wouldn't make fun of the sweaters but this sweater is weird. It looks as if the snowman is going on a Godzilla-esqe rampage through a forest as the woodland creatures look on in fear. That's not particularly cheery.) **Well, at least I think $10 could have gotten you this sweater. Somehow the sweater disappeared off of EBay, so all I have left now is this picture.

This sweater is the Mayor's must have of the week. The Grinch theme is truly original, but it was the sweater's shipping location (listed as "don't breed or buy while homeless dogs die") that really made me do a double take. Where the hell is that?

OMG, if that Baroo sweater was my size I would actually bid on it. And I love that you linked to the pic of your Halloween sweater.

it was uncanny how much you looked like my actual mom when you wore that outfit.
