The beauty of ugly sweaters

Is it ugly, really ugly or is it ugly cute, that's the question at Pine Bluffs Distilling where an Ugly Sweater Party was in full force on Saturday December 23rd.

The first ugly sweater was invented in the 1950's. They were called Jingle bell sweaters at the time. It was when the television sitcoms like the Bill Cosby show and the movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation exposed the sweaters more. Of course, different countries claim it came from them. Now with the help of retailers the ugly but cute sweaters are out for the season and always a big hit.
