As the Christmas holiday season descends upon the world, it seems that a holiday trend known as “reindeer boob”, which involves wearing an outfit with one of your breasts exposed and decorated as a reindeer, is once again surfacing on social media.
According to The Irish Daily Star, the risqué trend first appeared in 2013 when Your Sassy Grandma started selling “cheeky Christmas jumpers online”.

As Your Sassy Grandma owner Tyler Sheri Wiseman explained, she came up with this idea after an ugly Christmas sweater party in 2012.
"As you can imagine we had a hard time finding ugly sweaters to wear, so being the crafty people we are we just made some. Then next year we had another sweater party. This time I got online and really searched for unique ideas", she said. "I saw a picture of a person with a similar reindeer boob so I hunted online to see if anyone was selling such a thing. No one had anything even remotely similar, no reindeer, no pasties, no reindeer boob sweaters, etc. So we drew up a bunch of prototypes, researched how to make pasties etc. This is the design we came up with".
Earlier in November, Go Get Glitter unveiled another racy holiday trend called "pudding boobs" – a pair of Christmas puddings painted on a person’s exposed breasts.
