Here Are 20 Geeky Christmas Sweaters And Holiday Shirts To Make You Totally Rad At The Family Dinner

You won’t be as rad as these guys, but you can get close.

It’s that time of year again. You’re going to spend an indeterminate quantity of time crowded into a humid room with people you’ve been told from birth are somehow related to you despite all evidence to the contrary. You’re going to spend at least twenty of those gone-forever minutes wishing it were a determinate quantity of time, so you could finally know the earliest moment it’s acceptable to leave. Since you’re stuck there anyway, why not show these suckas what’s what by treating them to an eyeful of totally rad holiday apparel?

Here are twenty examples of gloriously geeky Christmas sweaters and holiday shirts to attempt to explain to your grandma this year.
