Christmas Sweaters

Apparently we now have a 'Christmas Sweater Day'??!!

'Christmas Sweater Day' was Friday 13th December 2013.  That was the day that everyone had to wear their 'Christmas sweaters'.

Well, I don't have a Christmas sweater and I didn't know it was 'Christmas sweater day' until two days after the event. Who on earth thinks up these 'themed days'??  Guess I'd better do a bit of googling?

When I was a child in the 1960's we had 'Christmas day', 'Easter day' & 'Mother's day'.  THAT WAS IT and those days were really special.

These days we've got so many 'special days' that we probably haven't got enough days in the year to accommodate them all.  If I had the time, or the inclination, I would actually do a bit of research to see how many 'special' days out of 365 we have??!!  Where do they all come from?  Who makes them up?  And how do they become a 'national event'?  Who decided that Friday 13th December 2013 was going to be 'Christmas sweater day'??????

All this materialistic hype drives me mad.

Why do we need a 'Christmas sweater day'?  If people want to wear a Christmas sweater in the run up to Christmas then that's fine.  It's their choice. Do we really need a specified day that everyone wears their Christmas sweaters? 

Personally, if I had a Christmas sweater, (which I don't) I would probably only wear it on Christmas Day.  OK, I would probably wear it on 'Christmas Sweater Day' as well.

And it would seem that 'Christmas Sweater Day' is now going to become an annual event.  How stupid?!

...............And for that reason, I am going out tomorrow to buy 'CHRISTMAS SWEATERS' for all of my family.  I'm hoping that I can buy 10 Christmas sweaters for £100.  The sales are on and I love Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Matalan, New Look & Peacocks.

I don't really agree with all this 'Christmas Sweater Day' stuff...................  But it seems like it's here to stay.........................

Roll on 'Christmas Sweater Day 2014' because all my family will have Christmas sweaters!!!

............And if I can manage to buy everyone Christmas Sweaters this year (at £10 or less) before all the hype really takes off, we can all just wear the same Christmas sweater every year forever more.  LOL!
