A harmless frivolity or just a clever marketing ploy to make us buy an item of clothing that can only be worn a couple of weeks of the year.
Don't possess one and would not wear one anyway.
Mainly because I don't wear cheap acrylic knitwear.  |

"I saw one in tescos last week, it was black with the words "ho ho ho" down it.
Was going to buy it for a laugh and give it to my gf then I remembered I enjoy living.
Mr"
Wise move
I prefer a Christmas long sleeved t-shirt or dress rather than an itchy jumper. At least as an adult you can generally pull it out for the next year too.
Kids xmas clothes though are more of a pain. I'll admit my lot are little and could probably wear an Xmas top or leggings every day this month without issue but I tend to go a bit nuts in the sales and pick them up a year in advance it won't be long before they're too grown up for it so I'm getting my fun now while they're wee

Christmas jumpers or t-shirts are just a bit of fun fitting into silly season. No different to silly Christmas hats and the bouncy springy things on people's heads. Helps brighten up otherwise boring and dull days. Also good charity events.  |

I wear them for work in December and we have a night out with friends and it’s Christmas jumpers only as dress code (with appropriate other items of clothing, not just jumpers ) I think it’s harmless fun.
I do have to be careful of the type of material though. I can’t do itchy scratchy wool

Not at all, however I must admit to finding last year's personal development plan meeting with my line manager slightly marred by the fact that I kept getting distracted by the illuminated pom pom that was Rudolf's nose.  |

"My mum is 79 and just bought herself a penguin xmas jumper. I found this amusing."
I borrowed my sons penguin jumper for my Christmas night out. I bet a penguin jumper looks beter in your mum than in me though.  |

"Mine says ho how ho now I have a machine gun
I'm sure a few will get it and others will be scratching their heads wondering what the hell it's meant to mean.
I think it's very festive tbh"
John mclane would be proud.  |

For Xmas jumper day last Friday in work, HR sent out an email saying that "those who are wearing Xmas jumpers are allowed to dress down in their jeans". The rest of us who don't have Xmas jumpers, myself included, had to be in business dress. Well bah humbug to my work!  x |
