Do you have anything new....

We're spending Christmas at a hotel this year & I plan to wear my bargain dress. Similar to Lynnebo, I've lost weight this year & bought a few new things. My grey lace dress cost £9 in the QVC outlet in our local town! It's been to a Christmas party already & makes me feel very slim & special

Feeling both envious and a little inspired by the people who have lost weight this year! I've been kind of resigned to being " a little overweight" if you know what I mean but you have shown that doesnt have to be the case at ANY age!

Don't forget the sparkly Christmas earrings!

Son and I are going to a lifelong friend of mine for Christmas and we like to dress for the occasion.

Black flowy top, silver sparkly jeggins and knee high new boots Ive just bought in the Debenham sales (my Xmas present to me). Sexing it up and why not. Im in my prime so I am.

New slippers. It wouldn't be christmas if I didn't get a new pair. But they must be like ballerinas. I may be nearly 80, but I definitely hate granny type slippers.

I shall wear jeans for the day when we have a walk and chill and then a nice dress in the evening when we have our Christmas dinner and Champagne. I bought a pair of black velvet flats in New Look for a tenner and will wear them. However, I' ll be in all of my bling.

I'm going for the whole hog this year as 2016 has been awful. I had a breakdown in Feb and as a result of being off have been sacked. So hopefully next year I'm getting better when I've put it all behind me. Independently my 26 yo DD bought the same full sequin dress that I had, so I've not had any Christmas do`s to go to so we are both wearing them on the day, partner is in his Santa shirt. Why not!!!

I prefer something new to bring in the New Year , my Mother always had a new apron.

I have a nearly new skirt in red, white and silver (charity shop buy) a green hoody top I was saving for the day and bottle green tights. I thought that would be a festive combination but I wore it to the pub quiz Christmas dinner last week so it's no longer a Christmas day exclusive ??

Penelopebee I truly hope you can tell 2016 to go where the sun don't shine and that 2017 will see you back on top! What a dreadful year , put it firmly behind you ??
You and your DD will probably be mistaken for twins on the big day -(at least if Santa shirt wearer knows what is good for him!) - you go girl!!??

Thank you for your kind wishes DaphneB seeing as she's half my age and half my size it's more a case of mini me Lol. I'm going to try my best and now I've written it on gransnet I have to! Best wishes D and you have a great time x

No, just my 3 year old Christmassy sweater, to be worn over what ever comes to hand.

Petrol blue silk jacket, skinny jeans and blue wedge heeled pixie boots. Need to find something to wear under the jacket.

Bathing costume and sarong for me...but then I do live in Australia!! It's supposed to be 33 deg on Christmas day so I will change into a cool sundress for our traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings! Ozzies think we are mad!!(smile)

I have spent Christmasses under the hot sun, not by choice. Give me a good old cold damp British Christmas any day. It is what I am used to and what says 'home and family' to me.

I splashed out on an Oska dress (thank you Ernie) to wear at Christmas. I visited my 101year old Aunt this week and tried it on - she said I looked like a vicar : oh well, I like it

Cream silk blouse and maroon velvet jacket (both from a vintage sale) and maroon Laura Ashley cord trousers (charity shop). If it's chilly I may add a snowflake jumper I have knitted.

Couldn't carry much on train with 2 sticks. Have been wearing a lot of grey but took a barely worn shocking pink cashmere scarf I had last Christmas and am wearing it all the time, indoors and out! Very comforting!

Have you gone away by train with two sticks, Elrel? Respect! I hope you at least had a reserved seat, did you get Mobility Assistance?
