Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving spent with family & friends! Now that December is just a few days away, I’m sure many of us are starting to get in the Christmas spirit. Or, if you’re like me, your Christmas tree was put up a month ago. LOL! No shame over here – David and I don’t celebrate many holidays, so the ONE that we actually get excited about, we usually set up early every year so that we can fully enjoy it for more than just a month π Also, at the beginning of December we create our yearly family photo card to send out to loved ones. That got me shopping for festive Christmas sweaters to wear! If you are still looking to get one for your own holiday photos or a party coming up, check out some of my fun faves.
This year, I am pleasantly surprised at how so many retailers carry pug Christmas sweaters (both ugly and cute lol)! As a pug mom, you can imagine how giddy that makes me. This year, I got the cutest pug sweater from TJ Maxx and found another from the thrift store for David (it’s big on him but it’s SO cute because the front is a pug’s face and the back is a pug’s behind)! And no, the pug sweater I got for myself that I’m talking about is not the one I’m wearing in the photo with Rolly the black pug-elf π I can hardly wait for you guys to see it when I share our 2018 photo in a few weeks. AHHH <3
& if you were curious what our family photos looked like the past 2 years… The one on the left was taken in LA in 2016 with our first son, Babadook. In 2017, we moved to Palm Springs and took the right photo in December with our expanded family of 2 pugs and 5 lizards! π Can you spot them all?

Do you take festive family photos with your friends or family this time of year?
Ahhh! You and your dog are sooooo cute! Love that sweater too, and your picks are great. Thank you for sharing π
Haha thank you Eileen! Glad you like the picks xx
Those are some really cute Christmas sweaters! I take family photos every year as well and am looking for the perfect holiday sweater still. Really loving the fuzzy ones you’ve picked out!
Thanks, Steph! Hope you find one that you love enough to wear for your holiday photos soon! π xx
Where did you get your pug’s elf costume? It is so cute!
It was either from TJ Maxx or Marshalls! I got it last year so I don’t quite remember but they always have some cute selection of doggy stuff haha. You can try Petsmart or Petco too!
Okay, those are so fun! I really need to invest in a sweater like this for years to come!

Those sweaters are looks cute and neat! I love the one from top shop and the one from bohoo the price is really worth it for sure.
Haha yes! Even though it’s not a sweater you can wear all season long, it’s definitely worth having for the holidays π
You look fantastic! I love your sweater and how well it pairs with your stripe pants. I definitely feel that I could pull this version. BTW your fur baby looks so adorable.
Thank you Clare!

I’ve been looking for a great Christmas sweater this year. ASOS is my usual last minute go to place to shop online.
I hope you find one you love soon! Asos is always a winner for sure π
I LOVE ugly Christmas sweaters! These picks are adorable and love the family photo!
Thank you Tonya! Glad you approve π
I love a good Christmas jumper so I may have to invest in a new one. I love some of the ones on ASOS and Missguided.
Haha totally worth the investment!
How cute are these sweaters! I mean they are so fun! But, I think the best part about these photos are those killer backdrops! You all look so cute!

Thank you Denise! My boyfriend will appreciate your comment hahaha xx
Iβm not a fan of holidays, but your pictures are vibrant and beautiful. The sweaters look great too
Aww I’m sorry to hear that babe! But thank you, you’re sweet <3
All the ones you wear are cute to me. I was thinking about grabing one the other day while I was at WALMART, but I was like “you won’t go nowhere with it lol”. Btw Your dog looks so precious
Thanks Presiii! They do have some cute ones at Walmart! I was there to pick up a few groceries and saw they had a surprisingly decent collection of Christmas sweaters. I’m not really one to go out but I’ll still dress up for the occasion for the heck of it hahaha
OMG. I can’t even with how cute your dog is! Obviously, the sweater in your fist pic is my fave. I totally embrace the Christmas sweater trend.
Lol thank you Christa!
I love any sweater with reindeers! So adorable π
