...to consider Christmas jumpers the very definition of nauseating twee?

[PointsSouth]

...and, while I'm at it, Christmas pyjamas. I know someone who has a Christmas duvet set, for God's sake.

I'm not against Christmas. Tree, lights, It's a Wonderful Life, chocolate orange - I can handle all that. Embrace it even.

But Christmas jumpers? Not even for charity. Two quid to wear a Christmas jumper at work? Nah. Here's a tenner - I'm out.

Don’t be so miserable 🤣

This is my idea of hell! No judgement on your sartorial choices but you’d have to put me under with anaesthetic before I’d wear Christmas earrings or hair accessories.

@ThisTimeNextWeekDavid

Let me know when you're checked in for your next GA and I'll be along to throw some Christmas cheer your way 🎅🏻

I'm slowly converting people - a colleague at work started out similar to you, but she complimented my Santa hat claw clip of her own volition this morning so I'm making inroads 🧑‍🎄 😂

Sara Miller Christmas bedding is just too cute to ignore. Apologies# for those of us who find pleasure in such tweeness

@TTPDTS for various reasons, its a deeply depressing time of year for me so I’d happily spent it unconscious. No ‘cheer’ would help I’m afraid. But I wish you a festive time!

They are vile. And usually cheap "material", made by underpaid and exploited workers. I would never buy one.

Each to their own. Some people find it fun. If I need to wear one at work for a theme day. I just wear my Hanukkah jumper. I wouldn't buy one specially as I don't celebrate it.

I have Christmas hand towels in the ds loo over the festive season, that’s as far as I go. I can’t bring myself to wear a Christmas jumper.

Pyjamas and bedding are fun for kids.

Why does everything about Christmas have to be stylish and classy?

What's up with twee or gaudy or flashy?

You fun hoover.

Nope - I’m totally jolly at Christmas. My halls are decked. I’m all for gaudy lights and Quality Street. You show me a plastic robin and I’ll clap my hands in squealing glee.

And that’s the reason I hate the jumpers. They’re not in the least jolly. They are the antithesis of fun. They’re rather tragic and unpleasant.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The entire point of Christmas jumpers is that they are hideous, the more hideous the better.

I have had a Fallout (computer game) Christmas jumper for years & it goes on on the 1st December & I wear it at every single opportunity!

Though oddly I balk at the idea of buying Christmas pyjamas which makes no sense at all

I actually like the fun and cheerful bit about the jumpers. Used to see the Americans wearing them and thought that will never catch on in rural lreland but hey they are everywhere.
Pyjamas: please wear them at home if you want but aside from kids do not post pictures of them. One of my teaching colleagues showed me various pictures of her and her quite robust dh in fun Christmas pyjamas and to be honest, l am not over it yet!!

Personally I don't believe "tasteful" and "Christmas" belong in the same sentence.

It is nauseating twee but as others have said that’s kind of the point.

I have no problem with this but it does irritate me when I am expected to spend money on them.

I’m not sure what your AIBU is:

I don’t like Xmas jumpers and other Xmas paraphernalia and I won’t buy or wear them = YANBU

I don’t like Xmas jumpers and other Xmas paraphernalia and I’m going to go on about it = YANBU but people might avoid you

I don’t like Xmas jumpers and other Xmas paraphernalia and they should be banned = YABU

That’s entirely the point, obviously.

I like this poem 🧑‍🎄

Roll on January, and an end to the peak of the seasonal moaning. We've got through Halloween and Bonfire Night, just the boring Christmas moanfest to go.....

Beginning to think my mother was right - if you haven't anything positive to say, keep your mouth shut

Instead of trying to suck the joy out of everything

They're naff and twee! That's the whole point!
Bring it on 😂

It was all but compulsory one year.

Eventually after an extensive search I found a black one with a horror skull wearing a Father Christmas hat.

It became optional the next year!

I hate Christmas jumpers and I hate flashing (and non flashing) Christmas earrings, and flashing (and non flashing) Christmas headbands with Santas on springs. I’m just not really into Christmas as a whole, though.

We had Christmas jumpers way before that, I had one in the 80s!
