Will you dress up on Christmas day

grannypiper, I didn't read your post properly and initially thought you were not planning to wear anything on top.

I shall wear a Christmas jumper, even if I am on my own.

Whatever I can get into after 2 lockdowns of grazing!!

We’re probably going to local DD1. They will all have been isolated for a week bless ‘em.
Last year we went with them on a Polar Express trip and we all had Christmas onesies. So we’ll wear them!

I have bought a new velvet dress for Christmas Day and will wear it with full makeup, jewellery and my best shoes. Only me and DH on the day but will also wear it on the two trips out to DD on the 24th and DS on the 23rd. More wears than most of my dresses get!!!

Yes, probably a burgundy velvet dress. I usually wear it with tights but I think I’ll wear it with thin leggings as they’re more comfortable.

I’m envious of a green velvet dress, Janeainsworth.

I used to have one but it was a maternity dress so only got worn for one season.

Do you all get dressed up before you cook the lunch? Or dash into the bedroom and emerge all glammed up, just before dishing up?
Because by the time I’ve spent all morning cooking, I’m too hot and ‘glowing’ to bother to get changed.

I might put on my red jumper, but that’s about it.

Anything on your nether regions Grandma70’s?
?

I have bought a new green dress which I haven’t worn yet so will wear that on Christmas Day and sparkly earrings. New Christmas long sleeved T shirts from Boden Christmas Bretons with favourite jeans for Christmas Eve and Boxing day . A bit of an effort but still comfortable. Daughters will dress up a bit too and my SIL will put on his Christmas waistcoat he wears every year.

Oh heck!
Is it too late to order an outfit online?

Situpstraight my DD’s are now old enough to commander the kitchen from me and I let them. I supervise from the sofa.

Suedonim well done! Mine are too, but I don’t think they know where the kitchen is?
If questioned they would say that I prefer to do it all myself.

I have a new dress, but it is very casual style, more like a long sweatshirt in a steel blue. I will put on a silver necklace and grey tights. It will be just the two of us.

When I am cooking, I like to be able to push up my sleeves, and I will put on an apron. I once ruined a very nice blouse at Christmas with turkey grease.

I’ll cover up with an apron too while cooking. It has black cats on. ?‍⬛ ?‍⬛ ?‍⬛

My Christmas dress is still in storage with the removal company so I will just be wearing a Christmas jumper and black trousers - stretchy enough to eat in! There's only my husband and I and I've been wearing the jumper already so it won't be much different to normal.

My usual ‘go to’ . Black trousers and a sparkly top. I hate dressing up. Comfort is my middle name.

Definitely. I’ve built up a collection of dresses and tops for my favourite time of year and one of them will be pressed into service. I bought a new wine-coloured dress in the White Stuff clearance months ago, so probably that. I’ll have to blow the dust from the jewellery and perfume, and it’ll feel odd to have anything other than boots or just socks on my feet.

The Christmas jumpers will come in for those socially-distanced walks with the family. Not that they’ll be seen under the big coats.

Gingster, you took the words out of my mouth!

I shall dig out my rather cosy Christmas jumper which has a large heart shaped Christmas pudding on it in sequins. I rescued it from DD2’s pile of discarded garments about four years ago. Waste not want not is my motto.?

Black trousers on my lower half. Going to DD3’s for lunch.

Wow you are all going to look stunning in your lovely outfits. It won't just be the tree and lights that are sparkling this year. We can still bring a little bit of magic to Christmas. Let's dazzle all the way!

Have always dressed up on Christmas Day. This year it's just DD, DS-in-law and me, so will probably be smart top (or Christmas jumper) and velvet trousers. Plus nice jewellery.

I just tried on my black velvet trousers


Too much lockdown banana cake I think

Oh dear Callistemon how disappointing. I moved on from banana loaf straight to mince pies without stopping !

MayBe70 LOL!!!

I'm planning to arrive at my son's house in jeans, a reindeer jumper, a face mask with a father christmas beard and a christmas hat with naughty on one side and nice on the other, not sure which one I am going to be yet!

I have a hat and beard mask for my daughter to wear and an elf's hat with big ears for my DGS but as he is on the verge of teenagehood, I am not sure he will be up for wearing it!

I have ordered a black chiffon skirt today. I don’t normally wear anything special but this year has been so awful. I’m wearing it for me.
