壹苹派生活美语　越丑越夯的圣诞丑毛衣

　　One of the modern world’s most surprisingly enduring traditions is wearing the ugly Christmas sweater. For those who want to look fashionable, these clothes may not be the top choice. However, the sweaters offer a humorous way to enjoy the holiday. Originally known as Jingle Bell Sweaters, ugly Christmas sweaters were first produced in the 1950s. In the beginning, these sweaters were not as loud as modern ones.
