‘My Ugly Christmas Sweater’ Turns Bad Gifts Into High Fashion [VIDEO]
Most of us wouldn't be caught dead in a garish Christmas sweater. But one woman in Vermont specializes in making ugly Christmas pullovers. As far as she's concerned, the uglier the better.

Watch Blackman's story below and try to imagine yourself in one of these tacky numbers.
