An ugly sweater is the centerpiece for any holiday celebration, and the most important part of the President’s Virtual Holiday Celebration is finding the most outrageous sweater.
You may browse thrift stores, or you can search online for the perfect sweater. If you do not want to buy a sweater, then you can hand-make an outfit. There is no need to crochet a sweater from scratch unless you are willing to do so and are a very quick knitter. You can sew fun patches or glue felt onto a basic sweatshirt, and/or you may drape yourself in Christmas lights, garland, or dozens of bows.
RULES:
Share your ugliest holiday sweater for a chance to win one of three prizes.
