Last season the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party website enjoyed huge growth, as media outlets like CNN, MSNBC and newspaper websites across the county covered this slightly new and very popular holiday tradition. My goal over the next few months is to travel near and far to gather up a fresh batch of Ugly Christmas Sweaters; featuring the most awful designs, patterns, actual Christmas tree lights that light up, etc. If you happen to still have your ugly sweater from this past holiday season and you'd like to advertise it on my site, please feel free to contact me, using the links below. Thanks!..

 As I logged on to get the website ready for the 2008 season of Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties, I was amazed to see how popular this website has become.  Thank you for ALL OF YOUR EMAILS and SUPPORT!! I hope to improve the resources this site offers, and in the meantime, please feel free to contact me with any questions or special requests, and don't forget to send pictures of your Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties!
