The lights, the candycanes, the snowmen I understand. But what does a panda bear have to do with Christmas? And it looks like it would hit you right at the stomach. Which would draw more attention to the area. Therefore, I will not be buying this. With the candle over the Panda bears' head it looks like he just had a semi-bright idea.

I saw this exact sweater in that lady's car a few posts back.

I'm sure Sophie could design a vest that would be a 'joy' to wear.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 22, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Nice one, M'ville!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 22, 2008 at 12:05 PM
ah, nothing screams 'holiday spirit' like a culturally confused yet tasteless garment. where can i get one?
Posted by: mudstuffin | December 22, 2008 at 12:09 PM
From personal experience, judi's looks like Darth Vader when viewed from across the room.
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Pucker up!
*heh!*
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 12:11 PM
M'ville made a caganer!
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Siouxie - LOVE IT! I'll take two, for when the first one gets mussed.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 22, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Look, Sio, the Bokken! Burn it!
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Thank you, Annie and CJ!
Posted by: Margaritaville | December 22, 2008 at 12:18 PM
It took Siouxie all of 6 seconds to get naughty with knitting.
I love it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 22, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Annie, mussed? or muffed?
I'm mass-producing these in every color.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 12:23 PM
It's the season, Annie. I get all perky and amazingly so, start to sneeze a lot.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 12:25 PM
That's an amazingly bad sweater.I don't think I could dream up a worse design.
I just read something about sneezing and sex.
Posted by: ron | December 22, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Careful, Sioux - yule put an 'I' out with that thing.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 22, 2008 at 12:41 PM
I went for the understated look for my Pimped-Out Holiday Sweater Vest
Posted by: ScottMGS | December 22, 2008 at 01:04 PM
Scott, I always knew you were such the hoe. Well done, indeed!
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 01:07 PM
Thanks, Siouxie. I
lickedliked yours, too.Posted by: ScottMGS | December 22, 2008 at 01:10 PM
For a truly sucky effort, see this!
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 01:11 PM
Hey..that's mine!!!

This one's for Siouxie and Judi and the other Blogettes (and others that enjoy that sort of thing, NTTAWWT):

humbug! i made a great sweater but can't find the save or share or whatever link thing. anyone help me out? oh and pass the eggnog. *hic*
Posted by: crossgirl | December 22, 2008 at 02:24 PM
(cg - bottom right corner says 'keep sweater' or something like that.)
I found the perfect wrapping paper for Siouxie's sweater.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 22, 2008 at 02:31 PM
Dang-it! Sorry, Sio; I started from yours, then tagged "Make Your Own," but the url appears to have remained as yours. That especially sucks, as I took a long time on mine!
BOOGER!

I was thinking Dark Side of the Moon.
Posted by: Eaglie | December 22, 2008 at 02:35 PM
Is it warm in here?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | December 22, 2008 at 02:38 PM
crossgirl, you have to email it to yourself, I think.
Here's my feeble attempt. This is why I don't knit. You're welcome.
Posted by: Cat R | December 22, 2008 at 02:39 PM
i'm just missing that bottom part of my screen where you have options. i suspect the grinch is involved. hrmph.
Posted by: crossgirl | December 22, 2008 at 02:57 PM
Siouxie and I think alike....vewy scawy...
tree, not bush
Posted by: Punkin | December 22, 2008 at 03:07 PM
Men, if you take one of the pills show in this Elf Viagra video, you'll be too busy to knit.... ;)
Posted by: PirateBoy | December 22, 2008 at 03:13 PM
MtheB? I give you two "noggs up" for your design. It's sick, twisted, and just about perfect.
Nice bush, Punkin....
Posted by: PirateBoy | December 22, 2008 at 03:16 PM
I wasn't going to post on this, but I had too..
With all the self-elfing at work I've done these last few days, I think I just reached a new low.
Posted by: Mike | December 22, 2008 at 03:19 PM
Hmmm. How low do you have to reach when you self-elf?
Whut?
Posted by: Inquiring Mind | December 22, 2008 at 03:27 PM
speaking of elves...
'twas the night before Christmas, and all ‘round the blog
not a creature was stirring, except my dumb dog
who curled by the fire, his tongue wet and swift,
and gave himself a ‘yule bath’ if you get my drift
the children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while crystals of ritalin danced in their heads;
and mamma in her slippers and tattered old housecoat,
lay prone and snored in a haze of doral smoke.
i lay down myself, and was very nearly sleeping
when out from the study i heard such a beeping
that i ran down the hallway, and stopped at the door
as a voice said “you’ve got mail”, and then, “you’ve got more”.
there were messages from sweden, thailand and france.
a pill to make johnson rip right through my pants.
prescription drugs that i could add to my stash,
a nigerian royal with oodles of cash.
there was so much data! too much information!
my pc was clogged with profane execration!
what once was a tool for e-communication
had been reduced to a digital vexation!
while deleting this junkmail, to my bloodshot eye appears
a curious sight, a chubby elf with pointed hat and ears.
A regular-size laptop he had strapped on his back,
and a wireless modem peeked out of his sack.
his eyes -- how they shifted! his hands never still!
his breath extraordinary! my dog would be ill!
then i saw that e-mailed at a lightning fast pace,
and the poop-eating grin that wrinkled his face,
i said "you are the source of this cyber-space wasteland!
the king of all spammers who ever did spam!”
while i thus sputtered and fumed at him vainly
he said “first amendment” and flipped me off plainly.
my mama had taught me, that’s not “number one”
i knew in an instant just what must be done
"tho ‘tis a sad world, this’ll make it one better"
and shoved him willy-first right into the shredder.
i couldn’t dispatch the crapweasel completely,
a little too buzzed i was and he wiggled and broke free
he ran behind my monitor and as he escaped
he sent me three emails about low mortgage rates
so, all ‘round the world on this eve of christmas
as we dream our dreams and hold on to our wishes
my holiday gift to all blogits then this is:
at least it really burns when he pisses.

My Christmas is complete. :)

Excellent, Mud. Pirateboy---I won't ask what you were googling!
Posted by: Margaritaville | December 22, 2008 at 04:01 PM
Nice one, Margaritaville!
I'd BUY that one!
:D

That was great, mud. You deserve a nice "sweater" for Christmas!
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 04:40 PM
You people are sick. Sick I tell ya!
*snorks @ mud and @ all our lovely sweater creations*
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 04:46 PM
For more Christmas Cheer, a horse walks into a Karoke Bar. (I'd advise starting with the Palomino, then timing the entry of the others, butt what do I know? It's not as if I played with this when I should have been doing something constructive.)

CJ's singing horsies are ok, but nothing beats The Drifters and the Reindeer version!
Posted by: PirateBoy | December 22, 2008 at 05:45 PM
PB, I love that one too LOL. Excellent animation.

I think Fabebleag stuck a knitting needle in his eye.
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 06:13 PM
Or elsewhere, CJ.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 06:16 PM
I've been enjoying this a lot and this one, too.
Posted by: ScottMGS | December 22, 2008 at 06:16 PM
Well, I've been known to polish the BlogBar in Myrtle Beach, so ya can't top the Drifters, by much. The Mills Brothers were still the greatest, IM(not humble)O; no decent Christmas tunes though, that I can think of- not really good stuff from when they were younger.
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 06:24 PM
A panda? What gives? Any why would anyone POST this?
Posted by: Seriously? You'd realy post that? | December 22, 2008 at 06:42 PM
Snork @ Mud! First time I've snorked all day.
Posted by: Guin | December 22, 2008 at 06:49 PM
Doesn't look very celibate, to me.
Meanwhile, for our Jewish friends, here's a gift that even squirrels can appreciate.
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 06:51 PM
Ooooohhh, Seriously, if I were you, I'd just go ahead and climb in the sled to H E double L !
You may want to pack the Jaegermeister, while you're at it ...

There's a difference between tacky and boldly tacky.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | December 22, 2008 at 06:58 PM
I don't get how to save my sweater, and I've created a couple truly hideous ones. :(
Posted by: Guin | December 22, 2008 at 07:01 PM
Guin - You click "Send Sweater to a Friend" and put your own email addy as both Yours and Your Friend's. They'll send you a link.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | December 22, 2008 at 07:04 PM
This is so perfect! The small company my dad works for had a themed Christmas party this year - wear the ugliest holiday sweater you can find!
My mom and I had a blast at the local second-hand store picking out two of the most hideous ones I've ever seen. The one my dad wore looked like a red & green argyle sock exploded; my mom's had lace everywhere and looked like every decoration in the world was just thrown at it to see what would stick. Truly hideously awesome and we all laughed like crazy.
They said it was a fun party (one of the white elephant gifts was a certificate for a lap dance at the local strip club called the 'Hanky Panky', but I think my parents ended up with chia pets!)
I think this ugly sweater theme would be great for a family Christmas party!
Posted by: DavCat | December 22, 2008 at 07:08 PM
Ho ho ho!
I prefer the more simplistic patterns.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 07:19 PM
Brainy, I humbly bow to your genius and tackiness. Here, have a scrambled egg nog.
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 07:20 PM
Hey! That's mine! ;] (see my sweater for mud)
Posted by: CJrun | December 22, 2008 at 07:46 PM
how do you turn off the MUSIC? yikes.
Posted by: judi | December 22, 2008 at 08:23 PM
Leave it to Siouxie to create an innappropriate design on this site. Holiday sweaters are meant to be an expression of family values! I am rather disgusted!
Posted by: MartiniShark | December 22, 2008 at 08:31 PM
Upper right corner, Judi. Click the little sound lines coming out of the speaker. I had to find that *real* fast!
Siouxie, I like that your latest creation is "safe".
Posted by: ScottMGS | December 22, 2008 at 08:31 PM
judi, there's a little music icon on the top right corner. The music is just ICK!
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 08:34 PM
CJ you're not the only one that can play with a candy cane ;-P
Sharkie, I'm appalled. And gobsmacked. Mostly disturbed. Butt you all knew that.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 08:37 PM
Last one ;-) See what you started, judi???
Ho ho ho II

Sorry! Bad linky!
Try this one, you pervs
Posted by: PirateBoy | December 22, 2008 at 10:59 PM
You are all evil (especially you, mud), and that is why I love you.
Posted by: Renee (the First) | December 22, 2008 at 11:05 PM
i can barely see the sweaters. there is nothing anywhere unless i change the resolution on my computer. i HATE asinine websites like this that make no consideration whatsoever for alternate resolutions.
:)
Posted by: judi | December 22, 2008 at 11:12 PM
nope. i went all the way to too-tiny-to-SEE resolution and still never saw any turn-off-the-music icons. and i know what they look like!
Posted by: judi | December 22, 2008 at 11:15 PM
awww dang, judi! I thought we'd gone and made you proud.
PB you are just as preverted ;-P
Nite all....all this
depravitycreativity has made me sleepy.*AAAAAAAAAAAAACCCHHHHOOOOOOO!!!*
stupid sneezing
Posted by: Siouxie | December 22, 2008 at 11:18 PM
judi, I couldn't see it either until I realized I didn't have a full screen swindow going. If your window is already maximized, then that's not it, I guess.
Posted by: Cat R | December 22, 2008 at 11:21 PM
swindow?
*pulls down s*

Siouxie's Hanukkah bush?
Posted by: Loudmouth | December 22, 2008 at 11:28 PM
I had the opposite problem Judi - I had to unmute my computer in order to hear the ghastly John Tesh ringtone carols. Try your computer's volume setting to end the scourge.
Posted by: MartiniShark | December 23, 2008 at 07:45 AM
I'm stuck!
