The Seattle Times had a contest for worst Christmas sweater. Here are my two favorites…

Best overall
A cat, a mouse and cat/skunk adorn Jason Yormark’s undersized knit vest. But it’s his “40-Year-Old Virgin” pose that won over the judges. Yormark, 33, and co-workers from Microsoft’s online services group “thought it would be funny to get some bad Christmas sweaters and get our picture taken.” So they found the worst of the worst at a Redmond thrift stores then headed to a Sears Portrait Studio to work it for the camera. “It was strangely natural for us,” Yormark says.

Best engagement couple
Brandon Jepson and Shannon Kipp of Wallingford want to share their good news with the world: Not only did they find two perfectly awful Christmas sweaters, they found an even tackier reindeer to tie the look together. “We cut it from a stocking and pinned it on,” says Jepson, 28, managing director for the Seattle improv theater group, Wing-It Productions. Fiancée Kipp, 38, is an e-commerce manager.
