The ‘Ugly Sweater’ Truth
The true origin of the ugly sweater tradition remains a secret. However, it has become the biggest holiday tradition, and a profit maker for many ugly sweater makers. It has become a tradition year after year, just like hanging lights on your porch or waiting until the last minute to do your shopping.
Many of these wonderful sweaters come from grandmothers or that one odd family member, who thinks they are “GREAT!” and gives them as gifts. The sweater will haunt you all year as it sits in the attic in a dusty box until you acknowledge its presence at the one socially acceptable event of the year, “The Ugly Sweater Party.”
This year at PILMMA we are hosting an Ugly Sweater contest. Send in a picture of yourself in your best and brightest ugliest sweater for your chance to win a $100 Macy’s gift card to buy yourself (or a friend) a more socially acceptable sweater.
Also make sure you check back for updates on the ‘Bad Sweater’ that has come to haunt PILMMA’s office and has been lurking in places everyone, including ‘it’ knows it just shouldn’t be.
