  1. I’m 38 and we had our first ugly t-shirt party when we were in high school. I remember it well. It was a short time later we tried the Christmas sweater. It is so interesting to see how over the years it has grown into this huge thing. I love seeing how other people host their parties as well. Stopping by from the WLOW Whatsit link up.
