Our pals over at The Washington Post offered up a nice look at how the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party started...who started this party? Honestly, when was the last time a new holiday tradition was born? :) http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/arts-post/post/ugly-holiday-sweater-parties-the-origin-of-the-seasons-sarcastic-trend/2011/11/29/gIQAzl3g9N_blog.html

Listen to our interview with Portland Talk 620AM - thank you again for having us on the show! 

 We've heard a lot of noise lately around department stores making such a big deal out of the holiday shopping season, and some recent news has come out asking people "When is it too early?"  Nordstrom even gained attention for NOT decking their halls pre-Thanksgiving stating that they "like the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time" - you have to appreciate that.  We'll keep an eye on them to see if they stick to their word or give in to the competition. Being that we here at UglyChristmasSweaterParty.com only focus on one thing... Ugly Christmas Sweaters ...we hope..

Team Ugly invites you (yes, we mean you) to attend our book release and signing party this Friday, November 18, 2011 at The Indiana Welcome Center. We are thrilled to meet you all and sign copies of our recently released (and soon to be famous) book "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Book: The Definitive Guide to Getting Your Ugly On" (Abrams Image, 2011).  The event will be extra special as it will take place along side the annual A Christmas Story Comes Home event, featuring the film scenes from "A Christmas Story", which is very cool.  And if that's not fun..

 The now famous "Name It to Win It" Ugly Christmas Sweater Give-a-way contest is in full force over on our Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/UglyChristmasSweater).  Check it out and be sure to "Like" us to compete.  The game is really simple; each weekday morning in November, we'll post a picture of a fresh Ugly sweater and the funniest name wins! We'll ship that exact Ugly Christmas Sweater to you the next business day, and all you have to do is show it off! Like Grandpa used to say, it's good clean fun. Cheers (45 Days Until Christmas) Team Ugly

This year's Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, which we held at Joe's Bar, was a major success! We raffled off $100 Visa Gift Card, Patrick Kane Blackhawks jersey, a spa package, iTunes Gift Cards and we even sold a few dozen Ugy Christmas Sweaters; all of the proceeds will be donated to The Shriners (www.shrinershq.org) to help children receive the proper medical attention they deserve. The party was rockin' as Sixteen Candles put on one heck of a show! Here are a few pictures from the event, enjoy! Team Ugly December 24, 2010 From Ugly From Ads From Ugly From Ugly From Ugly From..

Team Ugly (mostly Kevin) made good on a promise to our Facebook Fans! We sent out a message to the community, that if we could reach 1,500 Fans before the end of November, we would gather up the leftover pumpkin pie and smash it into Kevin's face! Well, as you've likely already noticed; Kevin was a good sport.  Wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater that played Jingle Bells through a tiny speaker, he took it like a man. Enjoy! Head over to our Facebook Fan page to join in on the fun.  Team Ugly December 1, 2010
