Personally I don’t have any Christmas sweaters etc but I do have a necklace/pendant of a reindeer I rather like. Here it is.

What do you have.

We have family Panto day on 23/12 Christmas jumpers expected.
This year I have one from Joules Fleece Navidad which is a play on the Spanish Feliz Navidad

Hate Christmas jumpers or anything similar, but I do have several pairs of Christmas earrings- some more tasteful than others. My Christmas pudding ones got put in the bin this year- far too tacky!

I saw that one too GG and the choir i belong to sings the song at concerts so it would be apt.

I don't have any clothes or jewellery, but have reindeers set on a head band gifted by family, which is fun.

(If I wanted a jumper I;d pop into TU in Sainsbugs the day before, where they are bound to be reduced ☺️)

Wearing nothing special on the day under my pinny (apron) as it’ll be so hot in the kitchen, but I shall be sporting a pair of tacky Christmas ear-rings for drinks with the neighbours at 11am! Totally out of character, as I only ‘do’ tasteful, genuine jewellery.

In mystocking last year was a sparkly headband, not reindeer antlers or anything meant to be funny, just tinsel, baubles and greenery. It is rather pretty and I shall wear it again this year.

Howverydareyou glad you like my reindeer I bought it in a rather junky cafe where the owner’s wife sells 1950s jewellery from Canada. I have another quirky necklace from there. I will try to remember to post a pic of that too.

The male owner has painted toe nails in the summer 😳I should add the cafe isn’t far from Brighton.

NanKate Quentin Crisp always had painted toenails….and that was in the early 60s .

I wear comfortable clothes for cooking but this year I bought a jumper in the Black Friday sales. It’s black with a huge gold sequined bow on the front. I’ll just wear it with some good jeans. It’s easy and not too warm-and it was cheap….just as well as I’ll probably not wear it again til next Xmas!

Love It NanKate, I bet it looks lovely on. I have taken to tying a little velvet or tartan ribbon bow to one side of a long beady necklace to give a little festive something to my usual jumpers for December, sometimes adding jingle bellestchshock

I don’t wear Christmas clothes and find any thick jumper too hot and a bit scratchy. Have enjoyed reading comments on here tho😄went into the local PO yesterday and the woman behind the counter was wearing a fun Christmas jumper but spoiled the effect by being the the most miserable so and so I have ever seen.

I have a couple of Christmas jumpers but usually wear a long sleeve tee shirt with a cheery, sparkly robin so I don’t get too hot.
The clothes I wear around Christmas time have ‘comfortable’ waistlines.

I have a cat Christmas t-shirt and a puffin Christmas t-shirt which I can choose from for the day. It’s always hot in the kitchen cooking the dinner. Also a daft Christmas headband. Then on the night we play games and get dressed up. I have a silver sequinned top and red flowery trousers for that. Have fun!
