What you wear on Christmas Day?

[SpringCrimboTurkey]

Do you wear anything special/make a special effort?

Yes I always make a special effort as if going on a night out.

I make an effort too, in fact I have told DH that I am going to look for a new outfit tomorrow especially for Xmas say.

Ahh that's nice to hear. I will be making a special effort too, considering I hadto buy myown presents this year I got myself something suitable to wear.

Ohh Mistletoo you saucy mare

Sellotape stuck to my socks, tinsel behind my ear and those annoying wire things that hold toys in boxes in my hair !

I would only make an effort if I was going to someones house. This year I would have been quite happy to slop about all day just having fun with the kids but unfortunately MIL is coming so I will have to at least get dressed

yes please - red

What a plank !! PMSL,that was onviously meant to say

Yes we always put on our best frocks! dh wears a tie as well, usually even though I think that is a bit OTT tbh.

So you are slaving away in a steamy kitchen with your best togs on?? Or do you have a nice pinny on top? (Does anyone (other than MIL) wear an apron these days)?

family always used to dress up for dinner when i was a kid - but in-laws just wear scruffs.
if only they were that laid back the rest of the year

i kinda miss getting smart stuff on, makes the day more of an occasion IMO.

I wear my apron about 3 times a year; Christmas day being one of them - and the rare occasions when I remember it BEFORE splattering myself in muffin mix. Don't really dress up for Christmas day, just jeans and a nice top - we stay at home and don't invite anyone! Tis lovelee!

light up Rudolph jumper and matching slippers

my mum always wears an apron for cooking, even if she's got her scruffiest togs on.

I make some kind of effort on Christmas day (put some make up on, etc), but my clothes always end up covered in flour and gravy so no point wearing sparkly togs.

skirt
normally live in trousers

clothes

If we're at home without guests, probably wouldn't dress up too much. We are going to sisters and think it would be rude not to make an effort as they all do so putting on a skirt for once (albeit a long one with boots).

Always remember having a new Christmas Day outfit delivered by Father Christmas when I was a child.

I am going to wear a DRESS! I have treated myself to a pair of Spanx pants and am hoping they are going to perform miracles. Anybody know if they are any good? They feel a bit flimsy to me

Sort of smart casual - not quite going out at night. This year thinking of brown knee length boots, longish cord skirt with velvet bands around the bottom, plain short sleeve top and sparkly (but otherwise very plain) shrug.

Plans might change if I get a nice surprise on the morning though.

I was thinking of wearing my levis with a rip in the knee-then i will annoy my MIL even more!

Carmenere, I hope those spanx pants finish just under your bust, otherwise they roll down and squeeze your muffin top out like the foam flowing over a pint pot. (In my experience)

Lol gingerbear, if they do it'll only be my mil and her dp who will see me, the others are used to my muffin top, unwillingness to dress for my true size

Sp[ending the day with DH and DD, so no dressing up on Christmas Day, Most of morning and evening will be spent in PJs. Rest of day is something nice but comfy - suitable for being on my knees playing with DD.

We will dress up on Boxing Day when we have family round.
