Where To Buy Seasonal Outfits
You used to be able to buy Christmas themed knitted jumpers only from party shops and specialists. But nowadays supermarkets and chain stores have lots of seasonal jumpers, tee-shirts, and pyjamas, as well as socks, caps and jewellery.
If you are travelling and can't pack buulky seasonal clothes, you can buy small items and travel with Santa hats and jewellery, such as ear-rings or brooches. Brooches which flash lights are in London's novelty and souvenir shops if you are out in town, downtown as the Americans say..
DIY Decorative Items To Wear
You can take headbands and childrens novelty head gear such as reindeer andlers and stick on flowers. You can cut pieces out of old birthday cards, spray them with glitter, and stick them onto hoop ear rings, or hang small novelty items such as cake toppings on hoop ear-rings.
Warmth While Travelling
I have worn my jumper to several events. It is warm for travelling, walking in windy streets even sitting at home at my desk. The alternative if you have only a tee-shirt is to wear several layers for outdoors when travelling, starting with a thermal vest, ending with a thick ski jacket.
My Jumper
Holly has prickly green leaves and red berries. The leaves and berries are still there in Christmas time in the UK.
Six set of holly designs have little red bobbles attached instead of the flat red knitting yarn berries.
This one, the label reminds me is from F and F. F & F is the brand of Tesco.
On Christmas Day take photos of yourselves for next year's Christmas card. With Christmas trees and other displays.
I expect prices to come down on Christmas goods after Christmas Day. Time to stock up for next year.
