By most accounts, the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party trend started in Vancouver, but by the mid-2000s, it had spread across the U.S. Could it have been fuelled in part by its inclusion in the national bestseller Stuff White People Like? ("Ugly Sweater Parties" comes in at No. 118...) Whatever the reason, in 2009, it reached its tipping point - exploding in all its sparkly yarn and puffy, cotton snow glory. While there are no hard numbers, it's safe to say there were hundreds of thousands of Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties, on campuses, in corporate offices, and for community fundraisers. People everywhere searched through the racks at department stores and second-hand shops, and online at eBay. Definitive in every way, "The Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Book" includes the history of the event, how to throw the perfect party, what to wear, and how to judge the all-important Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest. But most importantly, "The Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Book" is packed with more than 100 hilarious, full-colour photos of outrageously ugly Christmas sweaters, including Scarf Face, Wreath Witherspoon, and Ryan Treecrest.
It's a must-have for the millions who plan to throw or attend an "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party" every year, and a side splitting look at the funniest, craziest, most unbelievable holiday sweaters you can imagine - authorised by Team Ugly, the recognised experts in Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties.
