#12, ugly Christmas sweaters, please.
Eddie, unsurprisingly, was not a huge fan of Christmas. He didn’t really hate it per say, at least not anymore. Sure, from ages one to twelve they were pretty hellish, but ever since he came to live with Wayne, Christmas was kinda nice.
They were broke as fuck, so it’s not like Eddie ever had much under the tree, but Wayne would always scrounge up enough to get him a few things. He’d also make the best chocolate chip pancakes ever, their own version of Christmas dinner, which was secretly Eddie’s favorite part.
Twelve years of bad holidays and nine of good equated to Eddie being relatively neutral about the whole thing. His ambivalence on the holiday had never been much of an issue. 
Until now.
Because Eddie decided to fall for a man who had a Christmas-obsessive best friend. A Christmas-obsessed best friend that had his boyfriend wrapped around her finger.
Technically, Steve had warned him about this. But he didn’t expect her antics to start in November. Because apparently, the planning for a holiday ugly sweater party with homemade ugly sweaters was extensive. At first, Eddie was certain it was an idea she randomly had while high as a kite, but no, it was a Buckley family tradition. And this year, Robin decided that their little group of weirdos were officially part of the family.
And that sentiment was too adorable for even Eddie to make fun of. But that didn’t mean he had to like it. Because the making of twelve ugly sweaters included the enlistment of Steve’s help, and the enlistment of Steve's help meant that Eddie wasn't allowed to completely hog his weekends anymore.
The guy was learning how to knit for this fucking thing, and that took time. Hell, even when he got to see him, Steve brought the knitting needles with him, and Eddie had to fight with freaking yarn to get his attention. And it was a losing battle. Steve always shut down any complaining, with some variation of the speech, "Babe, I got her kidnapped by Russians and almost eaten by demons. All in less than two years. The least I can do for her is knit a damn sweater."
Not to mention how he was so weirdly secretive about the whole thing. Anytime Eddie tried to get a look at what he was doing he was rebuffed, and Steve had had the audacity to kick him out of his own living room more than once.
But the day before the party finally arrived, and it marked the end of Steve's obsessive knitting tear. Eddie thought he'd be relieved the whole thing was over, but he'd been fidgety and anxious all night.
Eddie was just on the edge of teasing him over being such a nervous wreck over sweaters when Steve stood from the couch, nervously announcing that he had something for him.
He dug behind a couch cushion, pulling out a cheap little green gift bag with bright red tissue paper. He dropped it into Eddie's lap with a nervous smile, "Open it."
Eddie felt the bag up with a smile, immediately guessing what it was.
“I thought the Buckley tradition was to open them in a group?” Eddie asked, tearing away at the tissue paper, "Did you get Robin's permission for a holiday transgression?"
Steve shrugged, chewing his nails while he watched Eddie pull it out, “Well, she helped me make it so she's vaguely aware. But…I want you to see it now. Uh, without an audience.”
It was every Christmas color jammed into one ugly sweater. Red, green, white, and blue, all in horizontal stripes. It was impressively bad and Eddie was more than ready to start laughing at it.
But then he turned it around.
The bright red words were knitted in sloppily, but they were clear enough to make Eddie's jaw drop.
I Love You Eddie Munson
Eddie stared at it, mind coming to a complete halt. They...hadn't said that to each other yet. Eddie had thought it sure, probably a million times by now, but he had been too chicken shit to say it out loud himself, always worried about scaring Steve away.
But here it was, staring him in the face.
Steve was gnawing on his lower lip as watched him stare at it, getting more and more anxious by the second, “I-I thought it would be…endearing? But you don’t have to say anything back! It was a stupid- idea.”
"This is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen,” Eddie interrupted, embarrassingly close to tears, “I have never wanted to hate something more.”
He clutched it to his chest, looking up at Steve with a wet laugh, “I love it. I love you, you fucking dork.”
Steve grinned back at him, obviously relieved.
"It took me like a month to make. You better like it!" He laughed, pulling Eddie into a hug, "And I promise, you only have to wear it once."
Eddie shook his head against Steve's shoulder, still holding onto his new favorite piece of clothing for dear life.
That little shake was the only warning Steve was going to get, because if he thought that Eddie was going to only wear it for Christmas parties, then he had another thing coming.
The I love you sweater became a winter wardrobe regular for years to come, clashing colors be damned. Eddie ignored all offers Steve made to make one that wasn't hideous and never missed a chance to explain what it meant to anyone who asked.
But despite how much Eddie loved it, Robin was the real winner of the gift. Because Eddie never complained about her kidnapping Steve during the holidays again.

Marvel Spider Man Tis The Season To Be Amazing Ugly Christmas shirt
If you’re a fan of Marvel Spider Man Tis The Season To Be Amazing Ugly Christmas shirt . based label 69, then you’re probably aware that inclusivity is hardwired into the ethos of the clothing brand. The anonymous designer has long described their garments as non-gender and “non-demographic,” meaning that they’re made to look good on everybody without regard for an ideal customer. To their credit, it’s hard to imagine anyone feeling uncomfortable in any of 69’s roomy all-denim creations; the brand has received lots of positive feedback from both ends of the sizing spectrum on this front. “I have people who are really petite who like to wear oversize things, and we have larger-size customers that love the clothes because even for them, they fit loosely and aren’t constricting,” 69’s designer says over the phone from Los Angeles. “And then everything looks pretty cool.” Marvel Spider Man Tis The Season To Be Amazing Ugly Christmas shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

Classic Men's 69 has just doubled down on this spirit with a new size-inclusive collection for Garmentory, which features four made-to-order denim styles that 69’s designer carefully created alongside the look book’s model, Compton-born librarian Chrystani Heinrich Marvel Spider Man Tis The Season To Be Amazing Ugly Christmas shirt . In the fitting, Heinrich assessed each piece for maximum comfort and movability, and some of Heinrich’s suggestions prompted 69’s designer to start over from scratch: “One of the first dresses I made for this was just too big. There was just too much fabric, and it weighed too much and it wasn’t flattering,” the designer says. One early version of a T-shirt, which fit Heinrich even more loosely, ended up as a tiered cutout dress, with the help of Heinrich. Heinrich got connected to the brand through a casting call on Instagram, and 69’s designer felt that the California native was a perfect fit. “She’s a librarian, a mother, a wife, and just an everyday citizen who has good style and a great attitude,” they say. Heinrich is a library assistant and the executive director at Compton Girls Club, a girls’ empowerment program where she teaches young women new skills and self-care activities, ranging from tea tastings, trips to Little Tokyo, and college advice. She had been a longtime fan of 69. “The oversize pieces, the denim, all these things just spoke to me,” says Heinrich. “It kind of reminded me of my mom back in the ’80s, when she worked in Hollywood.
