Do they have any ugly Christmas sweaters? Cliff Huxtable sweaters? Big ol' knitted sacks, preferably with bears wearing scarves?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/living/2004084345_sweater23.html"><P>Indeed, the once-loved, then-maligned Christmas sweater is popular again, making appearances at office parties, on Christmas cards, in frat houses and, yes, newspaper contests. Last year we asked readers to send us photos of themselves posing in the ugliest holiday sweater they could find. We got so many responses we decided to bring back the idea this year.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/living/2004084345_sweater23.html"><P>Christmas sweaters have been around since the invention of the loom (and probably earlier). But the celebration of the tacky Christmas sweater is a recent phenomenon, traceable in part to the 1989 classic, National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation," in which heavily sweatered Clark Griswold was the butt of the joke.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/living/2004084345_sweater23.html"><P>So in honor of Clark Griswolds everywhere, we bring you the best of the worst holiday sweaters, 2007.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/living/2004084345_sweater23.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/seattletimes.nwsource.com/img/D75FC109-5261-4F2F-AB42-6A1F365CB9E8" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/living/2004084345_sweater23.html"><DIV class="backgrounds">
