Do you get new Christmas jumpers every year?

Do you get new Christmas jumpers every year?

God no. Buy them a bit bit big and then reuse them for years, that’s my strategy.

No, menopausal so no jumpers anyway but I bought a few t-shirts in a sale in asda some years ago, I just rotate them.
No one remembers what anyone wore last year so it's good. And at one wear in 3 years they won't wear out.

No. They only get a months wear out of them. I've had mine a good few years now and the snowflakes are so faded you can barely see them against the grey background so I will this year. I buy my DS one a size bigger and fold the arms so it'll last him an extra year.

No!

Only for any of the DC who have grown out of theirs and don't have a hand me down.

I have two of my own, a silly one and a sparkly grown up one, both that I have had for years.

Nope, I’ve got the one and I’ve been wearing it for the last 5 years

No, try and get 2 years out of kids ones and also buy them in the sale anyway. I've had mine for 5 years. It doesn't play music anymore which is a shame..

No! I do need a new one this year though as my old one isn't comfy anymore.

Strategy usually is:

1. Buy DCs nice Christmas jumpers in Next sale approx 2 years too big.
2. Wear following Christmas, then
3. also wear following Christmas...
4. Return to step 1.

They’re always more than half price in the next sale (about £5) and good quality.

I just dress DCs regular jumpers up with tinsel/baubles/battery powered lights.

No, why would you? That's insane. Although I wish that I had realised at the beginning that this would become a thing and I would have bought a nicer one, instead of a Matalan cheapy.

For DCs, the 'buy big and make last a couple of years' strategy is good, obviously hand me downs within family/friends but also encourage a Christmas jumper bring and buy stall at the school autumn fair or whatever, so people can get right size replacements for a pound or two instead of buying new.

No, I go for the buy big in the sale strategy.
But my DC actually love Christmas jumpers and happily wear them all year round anyway, so we definitely get our money's worth.

No. No one will wear them - housefull of acrylicophobes here.

I do make the kids Christmas PJs every year though, along with the tonttulakki type Xmas hats.

A few years ago were given some christmas t-shirts rather than jumpers and loved them so much we have added one to our collection ever since! They seem to get better and more creative every year. We havent tried any with lights on yet!

Not for me or DH, we both have a few each. DC1 needs new ones as she grows. DC2 gets DC1's hand me downs!

I find the jumpers are always scratchy? So I buy t-shirts I have 3 plus a non Christmas one with a cute penguin. I've not caved so far this year

No maybe every two or three years. This year I decided to go for Christmas dresses instead.

No ds usually gets 2 years out of his. I’m getting a Christmas blouse and Christmas jumper dress though this year and ds is getting a Harry Potter Christmas jumper.

@goose1964 - The scratchy gets me too!

I don't wear them but the dc usually wear them at least 2 years

No! My DH and I have had the same ones for 4 years - our first Christmas jumpers in fact.

I usually have to buy dcs new ones, but I usually try to get them in the Tesco sale the year before!!

No way mine is utterly offensive in just how xmassy it is
It has a hole in the back and I still wear it

No way.
Charity shops are good for this. A lot of them have the Xmas jumpers out now.

I have never bought a Christmas jumper. Nope not for the kids either.

When did Christmas jumpers become a thing? None of us have a Christmas jumper. I'd lose it from one year to the next or forget I owned one anyway. Christmas fail number 432 for me.

No! Get about three years out of ds’s and I’ve only ever had one.
