In the United Kingdom, where the holiday began in 2011, the day has become a fundraising event for Save the Children, a not-for-profit organization that works with underprivileged children.
From Tacky to Designer Clothing
Until recently Christmas-themed jumpers and sweaters were viewed as a tacky and loud piece of clothing, usually made by an elderly relative. In recent years, however, there has been a renewed interest in these colorful articles of clothing. Several fashion designers now created Christmas jumpers and sweaters, which are worn proudly by people around the world.
A similar holiday, Ugly Sweater Day, is celebrated every year on the third Friday of December.
How to Celebrate?
- Wear your most festive sweater/ jumper for the day. What about jazzing up your sweater by adding sequins and other Christmas motifs?
- Have a Christmas jumper party – the person wearing the most outrageous jumper takes home the prize.
- Flaunt a bright sweater with Christmas motifs and help make the world a better place. Participating in your local Christmas jumper charity events. Don't have one close by? Why not start your one of your own?
