Is the "ugly Christmas sweaters" phenomenon contributing to the squandering of energy and resources?

The ‘ugly Christmas sweater’ phenomenon has been around for years – you pick the sweater with the loudest unmatched colors that has a Christmas theme and wear it.
I have never understood why this is festive or even fun.
It takes energy to make the sweaters, and there are the environmental effects of producing the dyes, the sweatshop conditions of the people doing the knitting, and then of course the cost of transporting these garish monstrosities to local retailers.
This seems like one large money and resource suck for such a minimal time to wear them.
Why do people do this?
