11 Ugly Christmas Sweaters That Book-Lovers Won't Be Able To Resist
I love a good Christmas sweater. Ugly or not, come November I am dying to wrap myself up in cozy, warm layers for everything I do... whether that's cooking a holiday meal, wrapping presents or just snuggling up with a good book. And I am definitely not alone. Christmas sweaters have been the thing to wear for the holidays for the past few years (we can probably thank the hispters for that) and tons of companies from indie stores to the big boxes have more than risen to the challenge. From Stranger Things to Harry Potter and so much more, pop culture Christmas sweaters have been popping up everywhere, and they are an incredibly fun way to get your festive comfort dressing on.
And, as can be expected, I am all about the literary Christmas sweater. Below are 11 picks that are ideal for any reader out there, whether you're looking for something pop culture inspired (think Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings) or something decidedly bookish (an adorable dino reading 'Twas The Night Before Christmas anyone?) there is definitely a sweater or two on the list that you just won't be able to keep out of your shopping cart.
For Readers Who Like A Little Magic In Their Christmas Wear
No bookish list would be complete without a little Harry Potter magic, but this sweatshirt is definitely a unique pick. Straying away from the book quotes and sticking to a simple 'Happy Christmas' and classic red and gold design, any Gryffindor will be thrilled to wear this one all season long.
For Readers Who Are All About The Classics
For me, no Christmas is complete without Dr. Seuss' Grinch grumping up my TV screen. And if you feel the same way, you can't get more classic Christmas (and classic Ugly Christmas sweater) than this one right here.
For Readers Who Just Want To Read
If this Elf inspired sweater isn't the ultimate Christmas gear for all of us book lover's out there, I just don't know what is. It's going to be hard to keep from buying this in every color.
