Part of me is saddened by the fact that as an Australian, there's no "white Christmas" to experience, no winter wonderland to see. If we're lucky, we'll have nice warm weather of 25-30 degrees Celsius (77-86 Degrees Fahrenheit for any American readers) to comfortably have a barbeque in. If we're unlucky, walking outdoors will cause immediate spontaneous combustion. So for me, Christmas sweaters are a bit of a bittersweet idea. They can be incredibly awful and absolutely fantastic as a result, and I certainly wouldn't mind one, but alas wearing a sweater or any kind of outwear during an Aussie Christmas is just asking for heatstroke. Still, they're always good for laugh, so here are 5 of the ugliest Christmas sweaters ever designed, with some fantastic, and others nightmarish.

Amazingly Ugly and Hilarious Christmas Sweaters

Nothing quite so festive and in the spirit of Christmas as a two person team effort sweater combination of a reindeer expelling decorations from both ends. Truly, a Christmas miracle.

Unless you've decided to create your own sweater that mimics a snowglobe. Now that's festive. I wonder what it looks like once shaken?

But why stop there? Why not go for the Christmas tree look? I'm interested though, what on earth is that sweater made out of? Astroturf?

Although the last sweater looks purely junior league compared to the sheer level of Christmas cheer on this sweater. It's the entire holiday distilled into one incredibly complex and I'd imagine deeply uncomfortable sweater.

But the worst is yet to come. So brace yourselves. We're through the looking glass people.

Incredibly clever, and utterly horrifying. This may be the ugliest Christmas sweater ever imagined.

I'm actually feeling a lot better about Australian Summers and the fact that Christmas sweaters aren't a thing here.
