▍原文
At first, it was just a retro reindeer or Santa, like something your grandmother would wear.
Now Fred Hajjar's ugly Christmas sweaters feature Popeye's chicken sandwiches and biscuits and lobsters from Red Lobster -- and they are going viral.
The cofounder of UglyChristmasSweater.com, Hajjar and his brother Mark Hajjar have turned the business into one of the biggest sellers of intentionally ugly holiday sweaters.
