We asked for your best holiday-sweater-as-muse haikus and you delivered. Here we present our favorites (read all submissions that are actually haikus—hey, it's the holidays) in two categories. First the vaguely kind of sort of at least trying to be green haikus and then the definitely about holiday sweaters but not so much green but we know you're green anyway and want to share your haiku section. Please enjoy and let us know your favorites in the comments!
