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.
現代世界最令人驚訝的悠久傳統之一就是穿聖誕醜毛衣。對於那些想要看起來時尚的人來說,這些衣服可能不是首選。然而,該毛衣提供了一種幽默的方式來享受節慶。聖誕醜毛衣最初被稱為聖誕鐘毛衣,最早於 1950 年代生產。一開始,這些毛衣並不像現代毛衣那麼花俏。
