When I was still in high school, one thing I always looked forward to with great anticipation was Winter Break. And the one thing which made that wait memorable was my Algebra teacher.

She would wear an ugly Christmas sweater every day of the week leading up to vacation, each more hideous than the last, replete with knitted reindeer, jingle bells, fuzzy Santa beards—one even played a jolly tune!

Keep in mind, this was before Ugly Sweater Parties were a thing, so please pardon the mad giggling which happened behind my hands for five days straight! Who knew that years later, she would have been the most trendsetting one in the room?
