AceShowbiz - Unlike other people who want to look good while celebrating Christmas, Melissa Joan Hart wants to look as ridiculous as she can be and drags along her family while she's at it. Every year, she holds a tacky sweater competition that pits families against one another for top honors. She even gets her husband Mark Wilkerson's full support as he sends her "30 emails of links to different sweaters she thought were ridiculous to look at."

This is a far cry from her mother Paula Hart's fancy Christmas parties she attends through the years, but she definitely has a more fun Christmas this way. "We threw up a white Christmas tree and I got a cardboard cut out of Santa," she said of her annual sweater competition, adding that they usually enjoy cheese logs, fruitcake, pigs in blankets and eggnog.
