Inspired by my attempt last December and from my friend Stephanie, I’m going to try blogging each day in December — holiday themes, of course! I’m calling it “31things.” Click here for more details. Read below for today’s post.

This post’s topic: Ugly Christmas sweaters

I’ll be frank — There is no such thing as a nice Christmas sweater.

Why do women, and some men, think sweaters with jingle bells, cats ice skating, blinking lights, sounds and all sorts of Christmas bling are acceptable?

My mother loves this time of year for many reasons, one of which includes wearing some of the ugliest sweaters.

She and her co-worker friends enjoy sharing tips on what stores have the better deals on these hideous things.

Nobody needs to see these things.

So please get rid of them!
