to work at night for a Christmas party. If you're

they're opposite we would say they're ugly. Um it's not a

quite common in North America to have a work Christmas party

something called an office Christmas party or a work

phrase I don't get squat. Which means he doesn't get anything

Christmas party or you might just say I have a Christmas

also mentioned in my video earlier this week there's

Christmas party. But it's certainly something that is

lucky work might end early one day and then you'll spend the

ugly Christmas sweater started. Maybe with the movie National

of Christmas. So a week or two before Christmas. You might go

last two hours at work getting paid and you're at the office

everyone was supposed to wear an ugly Christmas sweater. So

traditions start because of movies that we've watched. Uh I

Lampoon's Christmas Vacation possibly. Yes sometimes weird

Christmas bonuses. Uh Brent says I have no idea when the

mentioned to me earlier this week. Uh I think he used the

not a Christmas sweater that's nice to look at. A Christmas

as a Christmas bonus. So I feel bad I'll thank Brent for all

connected to Christmas in some way. Um and it just makes you

nice word. But an ugly Christmas sweater is a sweater

I mentioned this in my video earlier this week. I did a

a school. Where you all wear your ugly Christmas sweater. So

his work as a teacher. That's his Christmas bonus from me

you know what ugly means. So someone can be beautiful and if

you buy because it's not very nice looking. And you wear it

it would count as an ugly Christmas sweater. And I hope

year. Uh for many many people. There's something that has

feel really really happy. It's definitely a happy time of

sweater that isn't very nice. I actually like this sweater but

tradition. Um this is something I'm not sure when it started. I

it is a time of year where when you go to do some shopping

can fill us in. Um but even at work we had a day where

started recently called the ugly Christmas sweater

of year where when I say festive it means everything is

before Christmas and a day or two after. Um so Christmas is

Christmas time. I'm going to see my family around Christmas

of people going to events like Christmas parades. It's a time
