Hey everyone!
If you go out and about today, you might see unusually many people all wearing some type of Christmas jumpers. Reindeers, elves, festive trees, snowmen, glitter... that's because today, 14th December, is the official Christmas Jumpers Day.
While it's some lighthearted fun to celebrate Christmas time, the main point of it is actually to raise awareness for children in need by the Save the Children organisation. You can find more information on their website.
We had a little Christmas celebration at the office last night and managed to snap a few photos of the Christmas jumpers our colleagues were wearing... check them out below!
This is actually @EmilieT's Christmas jumper which I was told relates also to Game of Thrones (which I've also been told I need to watch)
Check out this gaming-themed Christmas jumper (actually t-shirt):
Polar bear jumper!
This Santa enjoying a home-made crepe
Another, slightly different polar bear jumper!

Love the jumpers @Marjo; very festive. My favourite is @EmilieT because it relates to GOT - am a big fan of the show. And yes, you really should watch it. I'm gutted there's only one more season, though I understand there will be a spin-off series. Bring it on
Getting back to your question, I don't own a Christmas jumper. Like them on other people, not so much on me

I personally 'wouldn't be seen dead' in one
I have no problem with others wearing them and have seen some really amusing ones about, though as they don't do them long in tunic style, they wouldn't do for me at all...
Carry on showing them though. I will pick my personal favourite at the end of the thread.

I have a Chewbacca one with "Not Socks Again" on it, but also have a Christamas T-Shirt with a Dalek on it that says "Decorate!"

@Glory1 Yeah I'm going to start the show from the beginning again, last time I abandoned it after about 5 episodes but that was a while ago now so my tastes might have changed a bit... let's see!
@Cleoriff your reply made me wonder and I googled "Christmas jumper tunic" - there actually are some! Would you wear any of these?
@welshsteve76 Ooh they sound great!! Can we see photos of them by any chance?
@Anonymous Ok what about... Christmas tie? Or something less visible: Christmas socks?

Yes I do wear a Christmas jumper
It's red with a decorated Christmas tree on it ... but ... it's too hot as it's a thick knit
The last time I wore it was to a bit of a silly do the day after Theresa May won the last General Election ... att I was in Bah Humbug mode ... I have a silly Christmas tree hat too
btw I'm pleased she won her vote of confidence recently ... she must be exhausted
