pro: I love that she deliberately set out to make a creepy/tacky sweater. That’s something I’d do.
con: Santa has a pointy, naked chin. Seems like kind of a large oversight – you think of Santa, you pretty much think 1) red fur-trimmed suit and 2) long white beard. I’m just sayin’.
Thank God she offers a free upgrade to priority shipping, because I’ll be needing this sweater before I visit my 6-year-old nephew on Tuesday. I can’t wait to wear this when I tuck him into bed at night.
Actually, I find the weirdest part of this to be the fact that Santa’s moustache is the same colour as his skin.
Other than that, I’d totally wear this to a family Christmas party without comment just to freak everyone out. With any luck, maybe the in-laws won’t invite me next year.
I hate to say this, but the only thing missing from Santa (other than his BEARD) is a pair of Cabbage Patch Kid earmuffs, to fully complete this horrific vignette.
Four inches deep? To hide the cookies from the cookie jar? Is there a hole in there that we’re not aware of? Why did she need to mention this? I am thoroughly confused right now. Such a disturbing shirt and description.

#3 – how could you possibly know that my favorite Christmas tradition is to watch all 4 “Alien” movies (director’s cut versions) one after another while the rest of the family goes to the inlaws’ house and rips open presents?!
(OK… I only did it that one year when my mom died 4 days before Xmas, and I couldn’t bear sitting in my inlaw’s house that year)
That is way beyond merely ugly. That is nightmare inducing, right there.
Meanwhile, my 75 year old mother heard the strangled sound I made when I laid eyes upon that monstrosity, and demanded that she look as well. She instantly referenced Total Recall.
you could make one of these yourself for half the price, or go to any goodwill shop and find an old sweater..40 bucks??
but, on another note, these are truly hideous and get the job done. i went to an ugly xmas sweater party last week- they’re a lot of fun
It looks like a miniature version of the Burger King (a horror on his own) with no beard, covered in dollar-store drapery and cannon-shot into some poor woman’s guy.
If the idea is to creep people out, mission freaking accomplished.
I love a good laugh as much as the next person, but to spend 40 bucks plus shipping on something like this… well, the laugh’s on you, sucker.
As for storing this 4 inch deep monstrosity for next year… I can imagine Peter Walsh rolling his eyes emphatically. C’mon people. Get a poinsettia corsage that squirts water or something.
So, ok – I can get behind an ugly sweater party. But when does it stop being an ugly sweater, and start being “I-attached-random-Christmas-shit-to-my-chest”??? It’s not an ugly sweater – it’s an ugly ACCESSORY stuck TO the sweater…..
Or am I putting too fine a point on it?? I saw her wreath sweater – wtf?
All I can see is how uncomfortable this would be to wear. Did you check out her shop? There is one with an xmas tree and another with a wreath. How do you close your coat??
The only way to do this sweater justice would be to add an Alien bursting from *its* chest, and to be skilled in the art of ventriloquism as well. You would own any holiday party…
I can see Sigourney Weaver wearing one of these to hide her Sprouting alien bump. And on Christmas morning, kerspalt! Out he bursts to spread Holiday Cheer, Alien style.
A stunning likeness to Albert Einstein- who is rolling over in his grave right now… and laughing his ass off. I wonder what his theories were on “suspended animation”.

At least she knows it’s creepy…
December 12, 2010 at 9:52 am
So they have creepy sweater parties now?
December 12, 2010 at 9:53 am
Perfect for that ‘Holiday rendition of “Aliens”‘ look!
December 12, 2010 at 9:54 am
#2 yeah, a lot of employers throw them around this time of year
December 12, 2010 at 10:04 am
I am picturing this with a baby Snugli sewn on the sweater and Santa in it facing forward. What is wrong with me?
December 12, 2010 at 10:10 am
When you’re getting tanked at the company creepy sweater party, you can justify it by saying you’re drinking for two.

That hideous thing is sucking away my dreams as we speak.
December 12, 2010 at 10:37 am
This gal is an entrepreneur. I like that.
Capitalize away, honey!
December 12, 2010 at 10:49 am
This would be an awesome gag gift/boobie prize.
And i’d totally wear it just to see the horrified looks on children’s faces.
December 12, 2010 at 10:51 am

I think Regretsy has a new category. Let’s call it “Guaranteed to Give You Nightmares”.
December 12, 2010 at 11:03 am
Does anyone else see Kuato from Total Recall? Please tell me it’s not just me.
December 12, 2010 at 11:06 am
@13
No, it’s not just you… Good call.
December 12, 2010 at 11:09 am
Hubby’s work was planning an ‘ugly sweater’ day. This would have been perfect.
December 12, 2010 at 11:13 am
Great way to disguise the vestigial twin sprouting from your chest…

Could be tweaked with an articulated jaw and recorded message, both of which you could activate remotely. You’re welcome. I’m a Giver like that.
December 12, 2010 at 11:47 am
Perfect for hiding that premarital baby bump!
December 12, 2010 at 12:12 pm
#13!!! TOTALLY!! when i saw this monstrosity, i completely went to total recall!!! thank god i wasn’t the only one!! get yo’ ass to mars!
December 12, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Santa got run over byyy-y Grandma….
December 12, 2010 at 12:37 pm
Santa is Guy Fawkes’s albino brother????????
December 12, 2010 at 12:38 pm
perfect for my “Random Shit Attached to a Sweater” party!
i didn’t think it could get any worse until i saw this phrase in the description:
“this guy’s four inches deep!”
somebody hold me, i’m scared!
December 12, 2010 at 12:59 pm
#4 : Looks like I never got the right employers. Mine just threw tacky dinner parties.
December 12, 2010 at 1:15 pm

December 12, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I knew before I read the comments that someone would make the comment about “Total Recall”.
I was not disappointed.

Quaaaaaid…Santa is coming to town Quaaaaaid…
December 12, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Everybody loves Satan… I mean Santa!!!
December 12, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Dear Santa ~ All I want for Christmas is to make something so stupid I’ll be featured on Regretsy. Love, CanaryCreek
December 12, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Holy shit, if only I could spare the $40 to purchase this monstrosity to wear at a kitsch-mas party. This is brilliant.
December 12, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Is this conjoined sibling week on Regretsy? One more and we’ll have enough for a new category.
December 12, 2010 at 4:43 pm

Good to know where the nerd genes come from.

That creepy Santa face look like the product of a magical night between Albert Einstein and my cokehead uncle.
December 12, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Can’t sleep, Santa will eat me…

I meant gut, not guy, but that would work too.

December 13, 2010 at 3:18 am
Props to her creativity. I would have burned the doll thinking it too weird/scary to do anything with. She put it on a sweater…genius…
December 13, 2010 at 4:45 am
I tell you, nothing gets me in the holiday spirit faster than a Santa chestburster!!
December 13, 2010 at 7:02 am

try decorating a tree wearing THAT thing
December 13, 2010 at 12:54 pm
Etsy had a “dead baby” tag? How lovely.

If this were a “peekaru,” I would have been powerless to resist.
