History of The Ugly Christmas Sweater? - Fun Facts for Kids

No one really knows who invented the first ugly Christmas sweater. In fact, it’s probably safe to assume that ugly sweaters were once made to be fashionable. The first Christmas-themed sweaters made their glorious appearance in the 1950s. They were produced on a grand scale and quickly became popular, with dads of that generation Ugly Christmas Sweaters were originally called “jingle bell sweaters.“ The very first ugly Christmas sweater party began in Vancouver, British Columbia, where two men claim that they threw the first party ever. National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day began in 2011 by a group of “ugly Christmas sweater aficionados” that wanted a day to show off their beloved ugly sweaters. Today National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day is celebrated in all its gloriously ugly fashion on the third Friday of December. #historyofuglychristmassweaters #uglychristmassweaters #factsaboutuglyXmassweaters #uglyXmassweater We upload a video every MONDAY!
