The Tacky Christmas Sweater: Just Add Glitter

We've all seen them.  We all know someone who has worn them.  And we, ourselves, probably wore them from time to time growing up thinking they were sensible, cool, and appropriate items of fashion.  How did we not know how tacky they truly were?  I think there were instances where we did, as a lot …
