It takes a certain type of person to brave the thin ice known as, The Christmas Sweater.

This decorative thorax cover not only offers climate control, but it also helps the wearer proclaim to the world that grandma did, in fact, get run over by a reindeer. On occasion, said garment of questionable sexuality will be mingled over a traditional turtleneck and atop pleated khakis. When this happens, rest assured the wearer means business. Make no mistake about it, he/she isn't fairweather when it comes to the spreading of cheer via crocheted snow-covered cottages, decorated trees, religious stars, illuminated candles, and herds of magical reindeer. No, this is passion we're talking about here. Pure, unadulterated, yes-this-mustache-is-on-purpose, holiday passion. Bring on the egg nog and divinity.

The pros and cons of the Christmas Sweater?

Pro: Climate control for the wintry weather.

Con: You're gay.
