Skedouche

Even in lean years, people compete over Christmas displays -- like your insane lights last winter totally blowing your neighbor's yard away, mainly because they so thoroughly illuminated its foreclosure sign. Spend less money on something more awesomely-awfully jolly: Skedouche

Just dropping eight new designs, 'douche is a line of sometimes-clever, often-offensive, always-absurd X-mas sweaters founded by a Longmont-based, CU-schooled engineering grad who found department-store holi-sweaters lacking cheer, and generally not deserving of his hard-earned J.C. Pennies

Among the new chest warmers

Reindeer Threesome:

A blue, snow-flaked joint with red and white stripes, this sweater's got Rudolph and his red nose as the meat in a reindeer sandwich, which'll absolutely sleigh with the grandparent

Fireplace with 3D Stockings:

An ultra-gross number with a roaring fire and three working (and removable) stockings, whose wearing will make sure they're the only ones you get to remove

Ding-A-Ling:

An extra-carrot'd Jack Frost "packing some serious heat down south", which he really ought to get checked out before he gets runn

If you like your sweaters literally flashy, pre-order the non-offensive "Lighted Santa with Reindeer" with actual, blue/white/red/gold LED lights that "flash continuously", just like your totally defeated neighbor who can't afford clothes.
