The Home Alone Holiday Sweater Quotes the Gangster in the Film

Going to any ugly Christmas parties this year? Then perhaps you should represent the classic telling of an abandoned Kevin McCallister by wearing the Home Alone holiday sweater.

If you watched the movie and its sequel every holiday season since it first came out in 1990 like myself, you know where the crudely hilarious statement on the crewneck comes from. Take your memory back to when Kevin is lounging in a hotel room charging his parents' credit card and is bombarded by an onslaught of Hotel workers, the manager included. He flips on the TV to an old gangster movie where the protagonist fires shots at his rivals and utters the words "Merry Christmas ya filthy animal" in closing.

The Home Alone holiday sweater is designed by DonkeyTees on Etsy.
