*UPDATE:* This post gets attention every year around holiday season, but the links to these products are from 2015 and many are no longer available!  I am updating it right now with links to the Ugly Sweater category pages for a couple of sites, so that you can at least still track down something cute and geeky even if you can’t find exactly the same print. c:

*UPDATE-UPDATE:* There is now a 2017 version of this post!
