People Are Decorating Their Boobs to Look Like Reindeer Faces

Have you ever looked at an ugly Christmas sweater and thought, That sure could use a NSFW adjustment? Well, you're in luck. Christmas is only three weeks away, which means you can start marking your calendars with traditional Yuletide parties. This year, though, try one-upping your friends and family (OK, maybe not family) with not an uglier Christmas sweater but with a much freer boob.

That's right, you heard me — the hottest new Christmas trend, according to The Sun, is the "reindeer boob." Described as a "bold take" on the ugly sweater trend, reindeer boob entails cutting a hole in your sweater to allow for the flaunting of a boob of your choice and then putting googly eyes, antlers, and a red nose on said boob so it resembles a reindeer. Hey, why not?

Like all trends that should not exist and nevertheless somehow do, reindeer boobs originated on Instagram. It is unclear who started the trend, but if you track #reindeerboob on Instagram, there are literally dozens of Christmas observers who have decided to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ by having one breast cosplay as Rudolph. The traditionalists seem to adhere to the hole-in-ugly-sweater reindeer boob, while the more budget-friendly partakers are using one-shoulder tops pulled down on the side. For another (less) bold holiday trend, you could also try the popular and easy white eyeshadow look that is taking over Instagram.

While only 48 posts pop up when you search #reindeerboob, this trend is apparently popular enough to spawn its own merch. As The Sun reports, one enterprising Etsy-er named YourSassyGrandma (sassy grandma, indeed) was at one point selling a sweater with a precut boob hole and that came with a reindeer-nose pastie, googly eyes, and sewn-on antlers. The sweater, inexplicably, is sold out.

In my opinion, one good thing about this trend is that it's rather adorable on any willing participant, regardless of gender identity, shape, and size. If you gaze into the abyss that is #reindeerboob, you'll be able to see reindeer-adorned chests of all genders and sizes. After all, what's the point of a goofy Instagram trend if everyone can't participate?
