Ugly Christmas jumpers are just one of those holidays traditions that makes absolutely zero sense, but persists nonetheless.
It’s like chocolate Easter eggs. Sure, eggs represent new life and all (so that checks out), but why are they chocolate? No idea. And nobody even cares, because chocolate is life itself and literally any excuse to scoff the stuff will do just fine tyvm.
In the same way, shrugging on an aggressively tacky, woolly jumper when it’s 40 degrees outside, defies all logic, but it’s Christmas, so it just kinda happens.

Blame it on our disposition for overenthusiastic festiveness, or this #iconic scene from Bridget Jones’ Diary:
… whatever it is, it’s not quite Christmas without the whole fam begrudgingly donning these spectacularly shite creations.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
But have you ever felt like something (or someone) was missing from this holiday tradition?
As your whole fam huddles together in the lounge room to pose for a family photo, in the corner of your vision you can spot ol’ Fido looking smug AF as he watches you all embarrass yourself, presumably thinking to himself ‘god, humans are so stupid.’
Well, good news guys. This year, you can make even your four-legged chum get in on the action.
The folk over at Blueberry Pet have gone and made a load of matching pet/owner jumper sets and honestly, this is pure gold.
While the sets are clearly priceless in so many ways, they’re also hella affordable, with the dog sweaters starting at the $15 mark (with prices varying depending on the size of your pooch). The human versions will set you back closer to $35, which is still pretty reasonable if you ask me.
Plus, unlike most international outlets, Blueberry Pet offers FREE standard shipping on these goodies – Awwoooo!
