The Christmas Jumper
Christmas jumpers became popular in the 1980s when television presenters were seeing wearing them during the holiday time on TV, even famous singers would wear them on Christmas specials they would feature on. Because of this people started to take notice and copy these celebrities. The Christmas jumper started off as being an item of clothing people would wear around Christmas to get in the holiday spirit.

People use to view them as gifts their grandparents would knit them and give to them for Christmas which then led to in the 1990s-2000s becoming a joke present people would give to each other. They were seen as embarrassing to wear and even today people still think that. People call them ugly Christmas jumper and take it as far as trying to find the most horrendous one out there and dedicating a day to wearing the most ugliest Christmas jumper. This is a lot more popular in the United States then it is the UK but people still think the same.

They started to come back into fashion in 2010 and in 2012 they wear seen as the 'seasons must have'.

Some people around the holidays wear them to work or school for charities to raise money for children at Christmas. The charity in particular save the children hold an annual Christmas jumper day every year to raise money and they use the slogan 'make the world better with a sweater' to encourage people to wear a jumper and donate. However people still see the Christmas jumper as a funny item of clothing to wear around Christmas and are now specifically made to live up to the name of the ugly Christmas jumper.
