"Ugly Christmas sweaters have moved from the embarrassing garb of old family photos to a thing to be celebrated along with the holiday. Parties with a dress code specifically focused on these now (ironically) appreciated garments have become a tradition for some, and this book seeks to provide guidance to making them the best gatherings they can be. More than 20 recipes for food and drinks will fit just about any Christmas party, though several do feature a sweater theme or shape. Most of the crafts, which could be used as party prep or as activities at the gathering, feature sweaters, while some revel in the general tackiness of holiday decor from decades past. There are instructions for decorating more than a dozen ugly sweaters as well as headbands, shoes, and even a Christmas tree dress constructed from copious yards of green tulle. A few simple party games are outlined, though certainly the ugly sweater competition will be the highlight of any such get-together. A link to downloadable themed bottle labels, invitations, and awards is included." -- Booklist "The Shays, who cofounded the marketing agency Shay Design, have graciously prepared a 'field guide' to all things ugly before Christmas: sweaters, drinks, games, accoutrements, etc. The creative couple throw their annual party to raise funds for a family in need, but such parties can merely raise fun, too. The gala starts, of course, with the ugly sweater; for those who don't have one, they offer ways to uglify apparel from the closet or thrift store--glued garlands for humans and pom poms for pups. They start with the menu to whet your appetite for throwing this party of marked hideosity. The food, including an ugly sweater cake, can be washed down with spiked drinks, such as grinch punch. The 'hideous projects' look easy, but the cozies require real work, including crocheting, knitting, and hot-gluing. Except for the sewing projects, the directions are rarely explicit: buy a box cake, "crank up funky music," arrange items in a pyramid. The games promote seasonal silliness. Toni Albrecht's photos properly elevate the endeavor to tacky and fun." -- Publishers Weekly  , "Ugly Christmas sweaters have moved from the embarrassing garb of old family photos to a thing to be celebrated along with the holiday.

    Seller did everything wrong. Seller took my money and I never got a tracking number. Two weeks went by. Seller did not return my email. Zero contact, did not receive the item, eBay stepped in. Seller did not reply to eBay's emails. So eBay is refunding me the money. I've been buying from eBay for 15 years and this is my first negative feedback so you know this seller doesn't care so stay away. NOT RECOMMENDED!

    The puzzle's condition was as described, ordered August 27, arrived September 7, and it was adequately packaged. My only issue is that it was mailed with NO TRACKING. Had it been lost in the mail it would have pitted the buyer against the seller. For a shipping charge of $10.07, tracking should have been included.
