This has nothing to do with Christmas, but in 2018, I purchased this sweater.  It's a cashmere blend sweater with the lettering translated to:  I am sneaky.  Since then I wear it every year to our office Christmas party.  it's long gone from the market, but I love it.

First, you can only get limited wear from them and secondly, people make fun of this type of clothing.

I don't care...you should wear what you want, but I am not looking for any negative attention and don't want to be the brunt of any jokes.

I don't buy embellished expensive items, and if I wanted one Walmart has a good assortment.

Addie2118, the hosts are doing hard sell on everything and as much as I would like to view the products, I don't need to be told how many to buy, where to wear, who to give it to as a gift, etc.  After 5 minutes I have to turn off.  You were right with your thought.  It almost makes me feel bad for them.  Just comes across as desperite.

Having spent several years working in sales, perhaps I see these presentations differently than most people.   They can be worse than conducting seminars, which I have also done.  

When you are selling to another person, there is back and forth conversation.  Questions asked and answered.  It's a discussion.

When a host is selling into a camera lens it can be VERY hard to keep it going for a whole hour, even if a second person is present.

It can often be like a One Hour Monologue.

That's often the nature of presentations on any SHOPPING CHANNEL.  They talk non-stop about what they're selling.  Hopefully, they talk more about the products than other nonsense just to fill the air time.  It's not easy.  

JMO, of course.

I have a very inexpensive Henley I bought from Macy's with Christmas trees and little red packages ect. on it.  I start wearing it around Thanksgiving and stop by January 1.  I think I paid $12.00 for it, but I would not spend much more than that for any holiday even red white or blue.  Now my Dallas Cowboys that is a whole other converstaion.
