Christmas clothes etc

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!

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 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.

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 belles

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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've never really been into Christmas jumpers, but a couple of years ago I found one I liked in Sainsbury's. It's black, with a gold and black cheetah in a hat, and some gold stars. I don't wear it on Christmas day because it would be far too hot with all the cooking going on, but I've worn it for several meals out and people have liked it.

One very bright and undoubtedly tacky Christmas jumper lurks in my wardrobe. It’s at least five years old and is for the 24th and any visits to friends who also wear tacky jumpers. A bright red sequin covered top for any Christmas meal outings. A red sweater with lines of silver sparkles for the day itself, its three years old. Nothing new this year, trousers or jeans that are already in the wardrobe. A bit bah humbug? Not really, just happy with what I have.

Mr C has one Christmas jumper, at least nine years old, which may be worn for one day - or maybe not .

I have this. Predictable? Moi?

I'm wearing a huge red crazy Christmas jumper .
Rudolph has a big red bobbke on his nose .
I saw people smiling at it on the bus .
I would have preferred a tasteful bottle green decorated with pine trees one .
I couldn't find one in my size .

Otherwise I have some glittery frocks lined up and underneath I'll be wearing thermals .
I bought my stuff in charity shops.

Exactly Magenta8. No light up reindeer or swinging Santas. Mostly plain silver.

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.

I love the idea of "reasonable jewellery." I take it you mean tasteful and restrained, not the ubiquitous, tawdry Christmas tat.

I usually wear a dark blue, very plain velvet dress on Christmas day with no jewellery. Perhaps I should wear some reasonable jewellery.

I have some “shimmery” wide leg jeans a style I like so I got them in black/silver and dark blue/silver. I’m thinking of the black ones on Christmas Day with one of these jumpers.
On Boxing Day I might wear the blue/silver ones possibly with a blue polo neck and a “statement” silver necklace
We’ll just be us (D1, SIL and 3 children and outdoors will certainly feature so we won’t be “dressing” ) on Christmas Day and going out to a Gastro pub near Chesil Beach on Boxing Day.

I have several sequinned cardigans, velvet trousers and a brooch.
