THE KNOW

Wear Your Ugliest PartyHave people make

their sweaters ahead of time. Then all you have

to do is laugh and take pictures.

Reindeer Sweater Party

Everyone makes a sweater with some kind of reindeer rendering. You could also

choose Snowman or Elf, but the point is to compete in

the same category.

Now, on to the party! Here are some theme ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Party

Everyone should bring their own sweater/sweatshirt to decorate and the host can supply the fun add-ons. Be clear in your invitation

about what people need to bring.

Make it a competition and vote for the best Ugly Sweater. Add categories like funniest, best theme, most fashionable, shiniest, etc. Then wear with confidence – it’s all in the attitude!

BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE!So throw an Ugly Sweater Party INside!Did you know December 18th is National Ugly Sweater Day? That means, dear INsiders, it’s the perfect time to throw an Ugly Sweater Party!

Hideous holiday sweaters began to sprout up in the 1980s, thanks to Chevy Chase in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation movie. Telltale signs of the ugly sweater are liberal use of red and green, comically large depictions of snowmen or reindeer, pom-poms and felt appliqués.

TOP TIPS TO FIND A

DRIVING SCHOOL

Ready to start driving lessons and not sure where to start? Here are

the best place for you. This is way too important a decision to just pick a school based on a Google search!

1 Ask friends and neighbors who have attended a driver training school recently if they’d recommend it.

2 Call several schools and find out about course schedules, fees, and the next available course dates and times to find one that fits your location and schedule.

3 Visit schools and ask to see classrooms and if you can observe part of a course.

4 Check the school’s Driver Education School License. The Driver Education School License must be displayed in the school’s business office. Other endorsements, like the AAA Approved Driving School accreditation, can also help indicate the quality of the school.

You’ll find lots more information and helpful advice at

AAA.com/ChoosingADrivingSchool.
