To have bought an 'ugly' Christmas cardigan?

Not a jumper as I want to be able to throw it on and off if I get too warm.

I didn't own an official Christmas garment and thought I should have one.

Do you have one?

I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BG25K2P2 if I hadn't left it till last minute I'dve had more to choose from and would've got something a bit more Jesus-y like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gonna-Party-Birthday-Jesus-Christmas/dp/B0B77XVGDK

I love cats, but that cardigan is horrific

I bought a Christmas cardigan a few years ago from Beyond Retro and it gets worn from 1st December, pretty much every day.

I love it. I don't think it's as ugly as the one you posted, mines more of a 1980s style, although 15 yo thinks it's the most ugly thing.

i am thinking about getting a Christmas sweater vest too 😁

Yes agree, the cat one is bad OP, really bad. The Jesus one is ok in a kitch sort of way. I would look somewhere other than Amazon because they are pure evil.

@practicepracticepractice Aw I love it.

Serves me right for getting something last minute. Grin

Beyond retro is a great idea! I used to buy lots of vintage jumpers. Need to check it out as not used to vintage shopping online but don’t have time for physical shopping!

Crinkle77 · 19/12/2023 23:00

Wow! 😂😂😂😂

Whereismycat · 19/12/2023 23:02

OP sorry just realised you’ve bought them already & maybe I was a bit harsh. Anyway I quite like the second one

burntoutnurse · 19/12/2023 23:03

I was expecting to see this! But yours trumps it 😂

No worries, maybe I'll get something like that for next year, but try and find it in a cardi/ zip up hoodie.

Sorry OP, chemo brain 😂. Thought you’d bought both. Fuck it & wear your cat cardigan with pride!

porridgeisbae · 19/12/2023 23:08

@Whereismycat Sorry to hear that. Hope you're able to enjoy your Xmas x

Primark had a nice Christmas cardigan (or maybe waistcoat) the other day.

NuffSaidSam · 19/12/2023 23:12

It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen, but I don't think Christmas cardigans are supposed to be stylish so wear your cat cardi with pride! It's what Jesus would have wanted.

goodkidsmaadhouse · 19/12/2023 23:12

OP I love both of those 😂

MissCamden · 19/12/2023 23:21

I think you're going to be sorely disappointed OP Polyester shirt (?) Is it even a shirt, I see no buttons. 2.5 stars on amazon. I'd love to see the humorous side of the item but can't. YABU and have been robbed of your £17.99. Hopefully you return this rip off.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 19/12/2023 23:23

Crikey. That is... quite something.

sweetpickle23 · 19/12/2023 23:25

Just make sure you’re not stood too close to the Christmas pudding when it gets lit OP 🔥

BitOutOfPractice · 19/12/2023 23:26

That’s a bad “cardigan”, badly photoshopped. I think it’s so bad it’s not even in the “so bad it’s good” category. Ugh.

LusaBatoosa · 19/12/2023 23:29

That is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and I love it. I must have it!

Merrymouse · 19/12/2023 23:31

My eyes! I thought it would just be a Christmas jumper but it is so much worse!

gano · 19/12/2023 23:41

It's so awful, it's amazing.

I love the Jesus jumper too.

porridgeisbae · 19/12/2023 23:46

@LusaBatoosa We could start a trend. Grin

MsMaturio · 19/12/2023 23:54

OP, I'm choosing to believe that you've started a lighthearted thread, where we can all enjoy photos of the absolutely hideous 'festive' shite, but that you didn't actually spend actual money on that thing.

porridgeisbae · 19/12/2023 23:56

@MsMaturio Grin Maybe I'll post a festive photo in it for you on Christmas day. Grin

Do you get the Commission for those? They both say sponsored by mumsnet when I click them?
