Ribbon Tangled Pink Raccoon Ugly Christmas Sweater Wrapped In Chaos

Wrapped In Chaos, and the Raccoon Is Proud of It

A raccoon sits in a heap of pink ribbon with a loop of it caught between his teeth and one eye squeezed shut, as if he knows exactly what he did. String lights wind around his belly, a warm yellow bulb glows beside his paw, and a few blush-pink ornaments have rolled into the pile next to him. Above the scene, cream and rose letters spell out Wrapped In Chaos, which is about as honest a description of December as we can come up with. He isn’t sorry. He is, if anything, a little pleased with himself.

A Pink Raccoon Ugly Christmas Sweater With Bows on Both Sleeves

Our Ribbon Tangled Pink Raccoon Ugly Christmas Sweater is a holiday sweater for men and women, set on a deep charcoal ground with dusty rose trim at the collar, cuffs, and hem. Around the raccoon, the pattern keeps the softer side of the season going. Large pink bows sit across the shoulders and again down each sleeve, cream snowflakes drift between little pine trees, and a row of hearts runs along the bottom border. It’s festive without getting loud, cozy and a bit mischievous at the same time, and the pink gives it a gentler tone than the usual red and green.

The person who reaches for this one is usually the one wrapping gifts at eleven at night with tape stuck to a sleeve, or the one who has untangled the same strand of lights three times this week. The raccoon is their stand-in. He means well. The ribbon simply happened to him, the way it happens to anyone who tries to make the holidays look effortless. Wear it to the office gift swap, the family dinner where someone always asks who is hosting next year, or the tree-trimming night when the bulbs refuse to cooperate. With jeans and a pair of boots, it sits easily in any of those rooms and tends to start a conversation before the first drink is poured.

Who Else Would Wear a Raccoon Tangled in Christmas Lights?

Anyone who likes holiday humor with a softer palette will find a place for it, from a friend who collects ugly sweaters to a sister who wants pink at Christmas. Because the sweater suits both men and women, a couple can wear it to the same party and let the raccoon do the introductions.

Somewhere in this year’s holiday photos, a raccoon with a ribbon in his mouth is waiting to stand beside the tree.
