10 Literary "Ugly" Christmas Sweaters For A Party

by Amy Sachs

Dec. 1, 2015

One of the best parts of Christmas is getting to see friends and family you haven't seen in a while — maybe not since last Christmas. The holidays give us all kinds of ways to reconnect with our favorite people: Christmas day, parties, and of course, the ugly Christmas sweater party. Truthfully, even if I'm not going to an ugly Christmas sweater party specifically, I can almost always find an excuse to wear one. I mean, something so delightfully tacky that can only be worn one time a year? Count me in, as many times as I can get away with it!

If you're like me and can't say no to an ugly sweat (or vest, I'm not picky!), you probably already know that the Internet is filled with amazing Christmas sweaters, and there's no doubt you can find one for nearly every interest out there. But, did you know there are also tons of amazing literary-themed Christmas sweaters? There's Harry Potter apparel as far as the eye can see, though, so that one didn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. But it doesn't stop there! For all the muggles out there, there are A Song of Ice and Fire-themed sweaters, Dr. Seuss, and even one for all the horror-loving Stephen King fans out there!

For all of your Christmas needs, here are 10 bookish Christmas sweaters guaranteed to make your holiday bookish and bright!
