Christmas Jumpers Yay or Nay

I have a jumper and a t shirt. I wear the jumper to appropriate xmas do's and the t shirt on Xmas day when i am busy in the kitchen and get warm. Its a bit of fun

If you don't want to wear a woolly jumper then Boden do some nice Christmas bretons. Mine has a reindeer on the front and I usually wear it Christmas eve. Not tacky at all and gets you into the spirit (mine's a bacardi and coke).

BR (before retirement) I worked in a large academic library with lots of rules & regs. Then we had a major management reshuffle & we were permitted to show our humane side. On went Christmas jumpers/hats/elf outfits for charity, I still have a photo of us in our jamas & slippers clutching teddies & hot water bottles for charity. We found it really broke the ice & students found us more approachable, especially the shy or lonely ones. The day goes better for a laugh.

I love Christmas jumpers as long as they don’t have rude messages. I have a reindeer and a sparkly star one, both from Sainsbury’s on different years. Our house must be colder than I thought because I wear mine with a thermal longsleeved vest underneath. OH has a couple too. GC’s love Granddad’s jumper with a furry reindeer which they love to stroke.

Yes I wear them and I have a Christmas T-shirt. The more tack the better at Christmas.
It is all about having FUN!!

You guys must have plenty of disposable income to have such hot houses I don’t have central heating but my daughter does she works for theNHS but can’t afford the heating above 16 so jumpers are needed in her house as much as in mine
Why have your heating so high when a jumper could allow you to have it lower and preserve our fuels and dare I say it keep us healthier
Hard hat firmly in place

Seems to me that if everyone wore a Christmas jumper a fortune would be saved on heating??

My reasons for not liking Christmas jumpers:
1. Big chunky tops make me (short and dumpy) look fatter
2. They are too warm for modern centrally heated homes and can't be easily removed, unlike a cardigan.

I find jumpers far too hot - so have two gorgeous long sleeved Tshirts with festive images on the front. Wearing one of the tshirts combined with a little headband containing tinsel stars helped to make me feel really festive at our swim team Christmas breakfast this morning without overheating

When I worked ...it was for an extremely large retail company ....and for a week around Xmas we were ‘encouraged’ to wear these tacky , awful jumpers ..paired up with stupid reindeer /Santa headbands ..usually with flashing lights. Now I can see how the younger generation might like this ...but I happened to work with an older workforce ( late 50’s early 60’s) and we all hated this nonesense . No choice...we had to be seen to look stupid!! Think you’ve got my answer!

I have some Christmas earrings which look like small baubles....

I can't wear a jumper as I get too hot but I have 3 nice tops (as opposed to tee-shirts). One has a red nose reindeer, one has glittery holly leaves and the other has father christmas in a chimney, this is the one I shall wear christmas day as the grandchildren will love it and that's what matters.

Tacky? I love tacky - gives a lot of stuffy people something to tut tut about lol

I'm wearing mine to our over 55s club party, the code is Christmas jumpers.

I have bought myself a Christmas jumper, an expensive cashmere polo neck, not a festive symbol in sight.

Oh Yes!! I have several but my favourite is one with 2 large strategically placed Christmas puddings that says 'Hands Off My Puds'. Tacky as they come. Love it!!

I have one on now. It has stars on it that flash when I move. It’s Christmas!!!!

I bought my first several years ago - but it's ended up with a dd who didn't have one for a particular do.
I think they're fun for those who,like them, I'm not remotely sniffy about them, but I doubt I'll buy another. I'd never in a million years be able to get dh to wear one, though!

Many people including dd, son in law and Gdcs, were wearing them at Gdcs' nursery/pre-school Christmas fair last Saturday. Nice and jolly. Gdcs' came either from a charity shop or were hand knitted by a relative. (Not by me, I'd never be able to manage the crocheted snowman's face appliquéd on!

Where I work is freezing but we're allowed to wear Christmas jumpers at the moment instead of our work polo shirt, so I've been and bought a couple . Asda have some nice ones not too tacky at all

Oh Dora Marr, I can remember always having a new "best" dress for Christmas when I was a child. When I got to about 10, I was allowed to choose from my aunt's mail order catalogue. I chose a royal blue shift dress, with a zip down the front and a stand up mandarin collar - only thing was that it was a wool mix so very itchy!
We have our annual Christmas meal tomorrow - I will be wearing my Christmas T shirt. Quite frankly don't care what other people think!
Last time I bought a Christmas jumper, I wore it to work and family meal (on the same day) washed it on a wool wash as the label said - it ended up twice the width and half the length!!!

They are meant to be tacky, all lights and sparkle, musical even. Worn one once and will if requested wear again. They are also meant to be fun!

I searched high and low for one last year but most of them would be way too hot. In the end I found a really subtle one in knitted cotton from Lands End. Only to be worn at home on Christmas Day though!

A jumper in 38c heat would be awe full but the kids sometimes wear Christmas tshirts

I think they are fine, in the right place.

When I worked we always had a Christmas jumper day for charity, I was alway too hot for jumpers so I wore T shirt type tops instead,. Yes we all looked daft but for a good cause!?
