The Thanksgiving leftovers are gone and the holiday season is in full swing. It’s time to get festive, dig around the depths of your closet, and don your trusty ugly sweater for its brief moment in the spotlight.

But with so many styles of ugly sweaters now available, have you ever wondered what yours really says about you?

Generic store-bought ugly sweater

You either planned this sweater well in advance or stopped by the store on your way to the party. You picked out a funny play on words or a pop culture reference everyone will smirk at. Or, you grabbed the only sweater left on the rack (luckily it’s three sizes too big, so it’ll be funny).

DIY ugly sweater

You’re crafty and you love to show it. You grabbed some junk lying around the house and sewed it onto an old sweater you found in the basement while throwing out some junk.
