10 Ugly Christmas Sweaters That No Animal Had to Die For

‘Tis the season to wear an ugly Christmas sweater! One of the most popular holiday-themed festivities in recent years has been the “ugly sweater party”—and although parties this year may be scaled back, the sweater options are still on point.
