Xmas jumpers - what do you think?

I don't wear my xmas jumper on xmas day though. But I do wear it as I said at work and on xmas week I wear it going out for coffee with friends. I like to bring a smile to people's faces☺

Love them. Colour and fun.

I also find jumpers too hot. I bought a t-shirt last year from Bonmarche. Black with sequined holly. Shall wear it again this year.

Given that on your own admission you don't "do Christmas", shanma, why does that not surprise me.
Those of us who do, will just have to live with looking "cheap, nasty and gross" ?

Don't hold back Shanma!
I am treating myself to a new one this year, nice cheery red with a reindeer on it.

Love it Lona! Where is it from?

I like to see them on Children. I think they look cheap, nasty and gross, not to mention downright silly on Adults.

I bought a nice cotton jumper (from Cotton Traders) with sparkly stars on it a couple of years ago for Christmas wear.

Today I bought another one, a Fairisle design in Asda for a mere £16 ... they had a huge selection to chose from. Mine is suitable for anytime wear, not only Christmas but if you want Santa and reindeer then look no further.

Just bought a t shirt to wear whilst cooking dinner on Christmas Day. Only 6 quid ?

If you're in someone else's house you can't do that - well you could
and if you're cooking and get hot and everyone else is sitting around sipping a drink and nibbling peanuts then they might feel too cold.

I do like the Fair Isle ones though, they are more classy!

I couldn't do that in the library Monica, there are other people to consider.

If you are too hot in a sweater, just turn the central heating thermostat down. You will save money as well.

I have a Christmas jumper which is like a fair isle jumper, just a geometric pattern of trees and reindeers in rows, white on read. Nothing in your face or ho ho ho about it.

I have had it for about five years and can happily wear it from the beginning of December or even earlier. I bought it in Fat Face and it is just as soft and warm as any other sweater I have bought.

I will continue to wear it for the foreseeable future.

I bought myself a Christmas jumper last year. It's pale grey, lovely and soft with a Christmas dog on the front. But I only wore it for about 30 mins because I got too hot! Does anyone know where I can get a Christmas t-shirt?

Primark maybe?

I'd quite like a Christmas, long sleeved tee shirt type thing to wear in the library in the run up to the big day - anyone seen any of those?

If they are worn for a joke, fine, as in me with my reindeer antlers and my LBD, but if it's serious, no no no.

I have a purple one with a penguin on, but it's been hijacked by DD as it goes over her bump. I also own 2christmas t-shirts, one says what happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe, the other is a list of this for a great Christmas

I bought one 2 years ago that is icy blue with a robin on the front. I wear it for fun a couple of times before and after Christmas, seeing it more as a nod to winter rather than the festive season.

Like Tanith, we prefer to dress up for family get-togethers over Christmas

No, never really felt the need. And as others have said they do look scratchy and a bit uncomfortable to wear ( at least the garden centre ones!)
Our little DGD aged two ( who is here now, I am on a break as DH is reading her some stories) is actually wearing one that looks nice and soft, so maybe childrens jumpers are better.I rarely wear them (jumpers) either, like Liz prefer a cardigan that I can take off if hot.No harm in wearing one if you want to though.?

Some of them are quite nice and others are gross and made of scratchy material. My daughter bought a lovely dark blue one with just silver stars on last year for her office party. If I buy one no-one will see it except DH and I. I prefer to dress up for Xmas Eve and Xmas Day- we put our posh frocks on.

Lizzy no I have never seen a xmas cardigan either in a shop or on a person

I would like to wear one for fun but get hot flushes so I rarely wear jumpers. Has anyone seem a Christmas cardigan?

I don't wear them myself (rather not draw attention to my far from perfect body) but I do smile when I see people wearing them.

Seizetheafternoon, yes, fancy dress day, character from a book day, Christmas jumper day, Easter bonnet day, Children in Need dress up day, Red Nose day, Egyptian day etc etc; the children hardly need school uniform any longer.
