So you're basically comparing Christmas jumpers to the spice drug? I agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I am wearing Christmas socks, except they are by Oddsocks and therefore don't match, as I am **** zany, and by zany, I mean they were a gift. I do have a Christmas jumper, but its understated, white reindeer on light grey so I think its more of a winter jumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted December 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) I've got a Villa Christmas jumper. It has a Santa's beard in the belly area which is nice and soft to rub, especially after over indulging. Is that allowed?

I like fun, that isn't fun, especially when the Christmas Jumper Nazi's are on your case. What it is is false, forced fun. they are the same types who go to a music festival and wear a bucket hat and think they are the wackiest person on the planet for 3 days before going back to being Barry from accounts and the good news is ... its only a few weeks before they start trying to get you to give them money because they've given up drinking Blue Nun with their evening meal for the month of January 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
