Do you have more holiday sweaters than you can count? Worse yet, has your collection grown so big simply because you can't bring yourself to toss all the old sweaters out?... like from the 80's???

If so, then listen up... You're in luck. This is the year of "the ugly sweater"!

How To Take Advantage Of An Ugly Sweater Collection

If your collection of Christmas sweaters has grown so large you just don't know what to do with them all, consider this: You could win BIG this holiday season!

Win?

Well, you might just win the biggest smiles ever from your friends and loved ones, but you could also win big prizes.

How?

By attending an ugly sweater bar crawl...

Or, by attending an ugly sweater party! (It's far more popular than you might think!)

Then again, you could throw your own ugly sweater party...
