Do you have an "ugly" Christmas sweater. As a teacher for 42 years , I wore Christmas sweaters I didn't call them ugly ,

I called them festive and the kids liked them. I had one with a battery pack that made Rudolph's nose light up.

Can't remember how I got it.

Navy-ish blue over all, then in the front...
an Xmas "tree" made up of little individual boxes: "presents" about 1" inch x 1" with "ribbon", too, arranged in a triangle.
One at the top, and ? 6 or 7 more rows increasing by 1 each row. Something like that.
It was fun!

She's holding up an ugly Xmas sweater. There are a bunch of them of all kinds draped over the set of washing machines.
.
She says something like:
"What happened to my blouses?!
Dang, I bought the wrong detergent!".

On the floor instead of regular "Tide"; there is a bottle of "Yule Tide".

🤔 An ad might be fun, though. 👍

Maybe "she" would take her accidental "Yule Tided" sweaters, throw them back into the washing machines using regular Tide, and they come out as blouses again!
