My dh and I along with 20 friends are going on a ramble tomorrow and we will all be wearing xmas jumpers. We round it off with a pub lunch and friendly quiz. It’s jolly and fun. We also wear xmas hats -

I don't own a Christmas jumper because they're very tacky and I'm always too hot for jumpers.

Yay!
Dh and I both have sweatshirt type Christmas jumpers (not as hot)

Mine has an applique furry reindeer on the front.

Dh also applique, has a snowman on the front.

As we now have small grandchildren to entertain, our 'Jumpers ' are ideal for rolling the floor playing toys and lego etc on Christmas morning.

Pre-grandchildren we were much more formal and dressed up on Christmas day.
I know which we both prefer

I’ll be wearing mine to the panto, to the children’s carol concert in the church and on Christmas Day until I get too hot and sit in my vest. Oops too much information. ?
It’s about 15 years old now. My vest is younger.

They're not supposed to be stylish and classy.

My son and youngest daughter wear them and the grandchildren have festive outfits

But a jumper is far too hot for me.

Ooh, I forgot the Xmas emojis. tchsmile

Mines on tomorrow for work then washed and put back in the cupboard for next year!

I would put a picture of my brooch up, but I'm too comfortable.

It's pretty.

Gonegirl Thu 12-Dec-19 20:16:21

Yeah alright! hmm grin

Cheeky mare! grin

Be sure to wear a vest, gonegirl (tucked into your knickers)
You don't want to get a cold in your kidneys. smile

No, although I did wear Christmas earrings to the children’s Christmas parties when I was a teacher. I always have a new dress, though. This year it is blue.

You wear a Christmas Tree as a brooch gonegirl ? ?. That must be a bit prickly. Has it got a fairy on top?

Gonegirl Thu 12-Dec-19 20:10:31

Mine aren't warm enough MissAdventure. I will dig one of them out and wear it with something warm underneath on Sunday when I see grandsons.

I have got a Christmas brooch. It's a Christmas tree.

Yes wore mine yesterday to the office party. Think they're great and just a bit of fun. Think you should be able to wear one no matter what your age.

Sparklefizz Thu 12-Dec-19 19:57:10

Yes, Christmas jumpers are supposed to be ironic, aren't they?

MissAdventure Thu 12-Dec-19 19:52:50

I thought looking tacky was the whole point?
I have worn them, but they're too hot!

MerylStreep Thu 12-Dec-19 19:51:40

Very bad taste imo ?

Doodle Thu 12-Dec-19 19:48:31

DH got given one last Christmas and wore it to two local Christmas meals (ordinary pubs nothing posh) it was not looked upon with approval. It’s a lovely good quality jumper with a lovely red nosed reindeer on the front. People seemed to think it wasn’t the done thing (older generation perhaps)

Do you and your family wear Christmas jumpers. Or do you think they look tacky
