Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/16/2015 -- Ugly Christmas Sweaters are a trend that started several years ago as nothing more than a "gag gift" or something you would by a friend or relative as a joke. The premise was to find the most hideous and frilly old-style Christmas sweater that you could, and wrap it up in fancy way to trick the recipient of the gift into thinking you cared about him or her.

The person receiving the gift would be in for a huge disappointment; however, when they opened the gift to discover what you had done. No harm, no foul though, it was all in good fun. Everyone would have a laugh and then hopefully, if you really did care about the person, you would present them with their actual gift.

Fast forward to Christmas 2014 and the trend had "gone viral", as they say. Not only had the trend swept the nation, people were actually wearing their ugly Christmas sweaters with pride. They would even go so far as to buy the sweaters for themselves and post photos of themselves wearing the sweaters on various social media accounts. It has become quite the phenomenon. A quick search on the popular social network site, Pinterest, brings photos of hilarious and elaborate home-made costumes ranging from cute and cuddly, to the extremely bizarre.

Google, the world's most popular internet search engine, sees a tremendous increase in search volume for the term 'ugly Christmas sweater' in November and December. Throughout the year, the term gets an expectedly low number of searches, averaging around two to ten thousand per month. In December, 2014; however, the web searches for this term skyrockets to almost 2 million! And that is just on Google. Not included in these numbers are searches from the world's most popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest which consist of hundreds of millions of daily users.

Suffice it to say this trend is not going away anytime soon, and is in fact only increasing in popularity. It remains to be seen the incredible number of searches and internet traffic this term and these types of products will produce in 2015. So now is the time to take action for the ones you love on your holiday gift-buying list.
