Here's What Your Ugly Christmas Sweater Is Really Saying About You (Photos)
Ugly sweater parties are as traditional as a Christmas ham, and just about as controversial.
Every year, I'm invited to some knit-themed soiree where everyone dresses up in garments their grandmas bought them.
As much as I try to find the ugliest holiday pullover, it always ends working for my figure. Funny how that works.
I've come to accept that it's just in my nature to be slightly cuter than the girl draped in Christmas lights and tinsel.
