Best Places To Buy Holiday Sweaters In Metro Detroit

There's no better way to get into the holiday spirit than by sporting an "ugly" Christmas sweater. What started as a joke, has now become a tradition among families and friends who look to top each other's outrageous outfits. Pom-poms, glitter, even lights that actually work, nothing is off limits when dressing the part for an ugly sweater party. In fact, the mantra for this one is, "Go big or go home."
