This is not how I wanted to end 2020, style-wise. My human brought home a sweater for me. An ugly Christmas sweater. This is the first one she’s brought home because she thought the others she’d seen were too ugly. I didn’t know ugly had degrees, especially where Christmas sweaters were concerned.
The tag was deceptively cheerful.
Actually the sweater isn’t that bad. Except for one thing. It’s a hoodie. Which normally isn’t that big a deal around here. I have a few hoodies and I’m fine with them.
This hood is an integral part of this sweater, since it’s supposed to be a Christmas tree, as you can see from the star on the top. The only problem, which you can also see, is it’s huge! And it just doesn’t say “Christmas tree,” at least not to me.
Since the hood is too big to stay up on its own, I either look like a Christmas tree thug…
Or I look like a goofball!
With the hood down, it’s okay, but nothing to make a big deal out of.
My human was actually considering having me wear it for my 2022 calendar. But once she saw it on me, she decided against it. However, this still may not be the last time you see this.

Summer It’s not that bad without the hood. True confessions, I have a shirt with cats in Christmas hats all over it and it lights up. Yikes
At least it doesn’t light up like my mother-in-law’s does!
Purrz!

Yeah, well. Not sure if it was all that ugly until you pull up that hood. Ugh! With it down it is pretty nice but look like a tree? Never. You did look your cutest as always Summer
Oh Summer there’s no doubt about how you feel with that hoodie up…..HAHAHA…..you absolutely HATE IT don’t you and I see why……your ears disappear and there’s just this round rather ANGRY little cute face poking out! Otherwise the sweater is fine – it’s that DANGED HOOD!
Hugs, Teddy
Well, Summer, I have to agree the hood up thing has to go. I don’t know any kitty that is that big headed. I rather like the sweater though, with the hood down. Probably worthy of a calendar picture.
Nope, Summer…it’s ugly, and not up to your usual standards by far!
Too bad the hood does not work as the sweater is not that bad 😉
(for a Christmas sweater)
Purrs, Julie
Clearly whoever styled that xmas sweater did not mean for it to fit cats nor dogs, MOL. It’s more like for a moose head, MOL. Just kidding…most likely an alien of sorts. This is too funny Summer. We can see this at the next white elephant xmas gift exchange party! LOL. Purrs
Oh my cat! Even you can’t save that sweater, Summer.
Too funny, Summer! My office had a virtual ugly Christmas sweater contest. Is it bad that many I didn’t even find to be ugly??? MOL
* Tears of laughter *
Oooh Summer your face in the ‘upright tree’ photo!
I hope you and your human have a good Christmas even if the sweater (like 2020) is a bit of a write-off.
It’s not bad as green is a nice colour on you. Better without the hood though 🙂
The “goofball” photo made me giggle, Summer 🙂 Sweater may be ugly, but you are so cute!
Summer, you can make an ugly Christmas sweater look…not ugly! I love the thug comment.
You look lovely, as always.
Oh Summer you gave me much needed laugh (I’m sorry). The picture of you as a Christmas tree thug is just priceless. Thanks for lightening my day.
All we can say is……HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
we love you in any outfit
Merry Christmas my dear Summer ❤️❤️❤️
It is not ugly. You make everything look good.
Yeaah, that one goes into the donate pile (is there a place to donate cat clothes?)
Traditionally Christmas sweaters usually are ugly. What more can I say!
That may be an ugly Christmas sweater, Summer, but you still rocked it!
It is one of the prettier of the ugly Christmas sweaters I
have seen. Also, it’s a pretty color of green. Just that too big
hood kind of ruins the look. That star on top is a clever touch -too
bad it doesn’t work. It was probably made for dog’s head to fit into!
Raz has a sweater like that but it isn’t a hoodie!! We think you look great in that color.

Well its not like mine or the usual ones you wear but it does look better with the hood down….it’s not great but you always look great Summer,xx Speedy
You make it look good sweet Summer, really!
That hoodie didn’t work, Summer! But it sure gave us a good laugh.
On the assumption that Christmas sweaters are meant to be ugly, that one works! WE do think it should be possible to come up with something a little nicer!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
I laughed out loud…and startled Katie… when I read your comment about a Christmas thug, Summer…in how you looked with the hood at that angle. LOVED this days offering and what you thought!
You look adorable <3
Hmm, I do think you summed it up rather well, Summer. Mrs H says she would rip the baubles off and the hood, and re-knitt the collar so it’s a kind of snuggly fireside cardigan vibe. Of course you could do what I would do and just plain refuse, and see to it it vanished,
Lots of purrs to you both.
