Christmas Eve at the Weils: Fritatta in oven, dinner for 12 prepped, bubbly chilling, table set, and ugly sweater laid out. cc
It is that gift which suffices, not quite what you would buy and keeps you nice and warm... also 'homely' so the family feels comfortable and at peace.

@oristarA,
Is the "ugly sweater" packed in beautiful wrappings?
There are whole websites and blogs dedicated to the meme, if you will, of the ugly xmas sweater, as seen above. They are the kind of sweaters you'd expect grannies and cat ladies to wear. People scour second hand clothing shops searching for the perfect ugly sweater. Then people go to parties and have contests to see who wore the most atrocious sweater, its just a goofy thing we people in the west do.
