Deb Rottum took being a stay-at-home mom to greater heights for the benefit of all those spirited Santa celebrators looking to impress in their "ugly tacky Christmas sweaters." Although the heat never quite disappears in South Florida, the fad is always present for a unique holiday sweater that will turn heads. This Florida mom of three decided to share her kookiness by designing and making sweaters that fit all kinds of personalities. A poncho sweater with the beloved M&M holiday men, a sweater with a brightly lit stocking hanging low, tinsel, red bows, Christmas bulbs on sleeves, a stock elf on the front of the sweater.....Deb has created it all. From the moment she put her handmade sweaters on the Ebay store, they have gone viral. One of Rottum's patterns is a 'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer' inspired design. Hilarious and happy is what sets these sweaters apart from the rest. Deb has even been featured on Good Morning America. Now, everyone wants their very own ugly tacky holiday sweater. You will too.
