To hate Christmas jumpers and pyjamas

[GaucheCaviar]

They weren't a thing when I was growing up, so no warm fuzzy memories attached to them. I look at them and all I see is the worst of disposable fashion made for pennies in Bangladeshi sweatshops. FFS, clothes specifically designed to be worn once as a joke? No wonder the world is goung to hell in a handcart.

I have Christmas t-shirts and a jumper and a dress. I'll start wearing them in early December and until the end of the month

I have four sets of Christmas bedding for the four week run up to Christmas, so does DD. We have Christmas socks, slippers, knickers, t-shirts, jumpers, hats, jewellery, hair bits, PJs and loo roll.

I couldn't give a flying fuck what people think. It's my house, my body, my choice and I'll do whatever the hell I like

Funnily enough, my house is actually decorated tastefully and is minimalistic but the children l teach love my Christmas clothes and accessories.

I actually want a Christmas jumper myself this year lol but I know exactly what you mean! It'll be worn for one day and then collect dust! Seems like school is just one big expense but we will buy our child a Xmas jumper so that she feels included regardless..madness!

Does the same go for wedding dresses? I can't speak for anyone else but I've only worn mine once in public

My Christmas jumper I wore today.

I bought my wedding dress, wore it once then sold it for more than I paid for it.

I didn't have a "wedding dress". Absolutely hate them. I hate everything about traditional weddings.

I had a lovely, normal dress and have worn it loads since.

Actually for maximum smug points I had a wedding dress made from recycled vintage fabric

Never a pretty top to wear on a night out? A party dress?

No. It's not compulsory to buy most stuff, you know. I borrow / make / upcycle or, at a pinch, buy from a charity shop.

I know it’s not compulsory. I just wondered whether you had ever bought anything you didn’t strictly need

My wedding dress was also vintage (1960’s).

Not really, or only very occasionally. I can't remember the last time I bought clothes new from a shop, it must have been several years ago.

I find it really odd that you think that's something to be smug about

GingerbreadMa school have made it clear it's Christmas jumper or uniform. They'd be the only ones in uniform. Please read my posts. DD rarely wears a jumper at other times, she doesn't seem to feel the cold, on mufti days she doesn't take one. DS2 loves his stormtrooper-with-a-Father-Christmas-hat-on jumper, and would wear it every day if he could.

Blue don't buy jumpers with the year on? DD's says "#Elfie", DS2's says "Star Wars" with snow on the top of the lettering.

I’ve never seen a Christmas jumper that says the year. They’re usually just generic snowmen/reindeers etc aren’t they?
