Fred Hajjar, the founder of Ugly Christmas Sweater.com, was one of the first to see the trend of ugly sweaters. In 2011, he saw some very horrible ugly sweaters on the eBay, which could sell hundreds of dollars, sometimes more than 400 dollars.

"So I bought this domain name UglyChristmasSweater.com, and sold a lot of ugly sweaters in 2012," Fred said. "But the sweaters we sold that year were still considered to be grandma wind, but now these sweaters are a combination of grandmother, fashion and craziness."

Sales of this website increased from $40 thousand in 2012 to $4 million 800 thousand last year, and this year it is expected to sell 90 thousand items, each from 39.99 to 69.99 dollars, totaling 5 million 500 thousand US dollars.
