Xmas jumpers - what do you think?

I have never had an Xmas jumper and would love one, but I think they have to be cheap and cheerful as their "lifespan" is short each year. Xmas jumpers in January are like mince pies in March!!

I don't wear one but a friend has worn the same Christmas jumper for years its actally a joke in her family 'oh oh Grandmas got her Chrimbo jumper on', no need to buy a new one unless it doesn't fit of course.

They're harmless, but to me it just seems like another way for retailers to extract money from customers and one more item that people feel they have to get in order to 'do' Christmas properly. I love tradition and I suppose this is another tradition that has been created. But I guess I prefer ones that don't rely on having to buy something. It's also a drain on parents when schools have a Christmas jumper day. One more thing to have to get at an already expensive time of year. Blimey, I'm a joy aren't I
