The Not-so-Ugly Christmas Sweater

They can go from good to bad so quickly.  After some searching I've concluded that my only option is to knit my own.  I have a hard time with sweaters...I get bored too easily.  Actually anything larger than a hat is pretty much torture.  One of these days I'm going to do it though.

Case in point: DROPS has two similar sweaters...red with snowflakes, good.  Pom-pom nosed reindeer, bad.

The rest of these are definitely contenders.  The one passable ready-to-wear I found is sold out...maybe I should get together a chart of mistletoe quick.
