I must be Scrooge, because one of the joys of being retired from my career in Early Years Education is that I do not, now, have to wear anything Christmassy!

I bought some reindeer earrings from Next last year and am currently wearing them.

Yes, clothes with shoulder pads are fashionable right now (late 2024/early 2025)
😲

I am wearing a red jumper which is liberally festooned with sequins. I was out for Christmas afternoon tea with friends

I have a jumper tucked away in the back of the wardrobe which is black with beads. It was from C&A, must be about 35 years ago now! It had shoulder pads (removable). 😁

That's an usual necklace, very nice. I've bought a patterned dress for a lunch on Tuesday, a pair of velvet trousers and a nice patterned blouse for a meal out next Thursday, a velvet dress for going out on Christmas day, and a red Christmas jumper (Christmas trees on it) the family coming here on Boxing Day

I've just bought a dark blue sparkly top from John Lewis, perfect for going out for Christmas meals because it isn't too warm. Also because it's stretchy!

I gave an Asda Christmas jumper...its about 5 years old ...

Trinnie and Susannah once said that a red top with black trousers was 'tarty'.

I might wear a red, slightly glittery jumper and black velvet trousers. tchgrin

I have a dark green sweater with sequins. But I do have a red dress which I’m toying with wearing this year as I’m not cooking -hooray. I also have a sparkly Christmas brooch - Christmas bells which I always forget to wear.

Can’t we persuade you Kitty to try on the sweater with the bobbles, it sounds fun 😉

I don’t wear ‘Christmas clothes’…. Jumpers, earrings etc. But on Christmas Day, or going out I have a lovely dark green velvet dress and some reasonable jewellery.

Love it Kate!

I have a grey jumper with sequined stars on - Sainsbury's I think.

And an appalling one with a few reindeer with bobbles for noses. I don't wear that one.

Santa earings is my nod to christmas 🎅

That's a lovely pendant. I don't have any special clothes for Christmas. I must be a bit Bah Humbug!

NanKate Fri 12-Dec-25 15:51:46

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.
