“Retirement” on the park bench
Have you ever wondered what happens to all those ugly Christmas sweaters after the holidays are over?
You can’t very well wear the same ugly Christmas sweater every year otherwise all your holiday pictures would be the same year after year.
I assume most of them get recycled through second-hand shops. But for the unfortunate of unfortunates like this one, they end up on a bench by the sea wall. 
I only know about the ugly Christmas sweater tradition secondhand. Firstly from one of the Bridget Jones books and movies. Secondly because a friend in SF was telling me about the ugly Christmas sweater party she went to in December. I was wondering why it wasn’t part of my culture and then the answer dawned on me — a sweater (or jumper as we call it), is not really something you want to be wearing in Australia in December!!!
Hahahaha True true
