Are You Counting On A Generational Gap to Save You from Holiday Sweaters?

Ugly holiday sweaters, like bench-press worthy fruitcakes and way-too-long-and-boring family holiday newsletters are here to stay. Deal with it.

While one can only wish those ugly holiday sweaters were an endangered species, the reality is that there are those people who love ‘em, and no, sadly they are not sight impaired or even color blind. These folks like un-hip, if-only-they-kitsch sweaters with reindeers, santas, candy canes and even Mrs. Claus sewn into and on them.

The best advice I can give ugly-sweater haters is to practice tolerance. Not everyone has good taste. Go rent The Devil Wears Prada and have another egg nog. Those sweaters are here to stay.
