Hello, hello, my friends, and welcome back to English Makes No Sense, the podcast where we have fun with the English language and some fun traditions.
We're going to have some fun one lesson at a time.
If you have ever been invited to an ugly sweater day at work or school and thought, wait a minute, why are we celebrating bad fashion?
You, my friend, are not alone.
Today, we are going to talk about the origin and history of Ugly Sweater Day.
And if you're watching this on Spotify or on YouTube, I have my ugly sweater on.
I'll try to get that in the picture.
Whoa, let me stand up with it.
See that?
I got Darth Vader on.
Beautiful, ugly sweater.
Bought it at Target.
And, you know, it's a thing.
It's celebrated.
It's a national holiday in the U.S.,
The third Friday in December is National Ugly Sweater Day.
Are you kidding me?
No.
But I'm going to talk about where this ugly sweater day came from and why Americans love it and what it really means culturally.
Are you ready?
