Thanksgiving is officially over, which gives everyone permission to finally get in the Christmas spirit! This means Christmas music, santa cookies, peppermint lattes, paper snowflakes, and most importantly -- ugly sweaters.

No one is really sure where or why the so-called "ugly Christmas sweater" fad came about, but today it has escalated into an entire fashion genre. Chances are, you will have multiple occasions this season where you need to look authentically ugly -- need something to wear? Here are some places to shop for sweaters to help you accomplish that.

1. DIY/Pinterest

Feeling crafty? Creating your own sweater is the best way to guarantee it is exactly everything you've dreamed of. You can find ideas on all over the Internet, or channel some inspiration from your nearest craft store.

2. Amazon

If Amazon is known for one thing, it's variety. A reindeer with a big fluffy red nose? A cat riding a magic pizza carpet? Santa riding a dinosaur? I guarantee you could find any and every type of Christmas sweater here (and even some extremely ugly suits, if you want to up your game). Not only that, but with Amazon Prime you can order it last minute and still look your best at that Christmas party!
