Everyone has their regular holiday traditions – decorating, time with family, presents and maybe even slipping a little something in your nog at the company party.

But in the past decade or so, the trend of flaunting the worst/best ugly holiday sweater you can find has risen to unavoidable heights. Ugly sweaters: they're here, they're ugly, get used to them.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, give us your sweater songs. Simple as that.

And thanks to Deb for the suggestion!

Songs Played

Weezer "The Sweater Song"
Vampire Weekend "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa"
