George at Asda is the official retail sponsor and Christmas jumpers are now on sale in their stores and online with a percentage of each sale going to Save The Children.
Eleanor will be taking part at school, though I think it's just the sixth form which is joining in. She wanted something gaudy and we came across this jumper in the men's section at Matalan. It's a little big but she likes her jumpers to be baggy.

I think this fits the bill perfectly, especially when the lights are turned on and are flashing away.

Other partners besides Asda are supporting this year's Christmas Jumper Day too. If you fancy knitting yourself a jumper, patterns can be downloaded from Deramores.com with selected patterns carrying a donation to Save The Children. How about getting your dog in on the fun? Doggy jumpers are being sold at Pets at Home with a donation going to Save The Children. I'm not sure it's really Archie's thing.
I like the expression on the reindeer's face!

He does look rather startled, especially when his nose starts glowing.
DeleteI love Eleanor's choice. Very cool! :o)
ReplyDeleteI rather like it myself, especially the fact that it twinkles.
DeleteI'm sure that jumper will made people smile, and nice to see that it's for a good cause. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteIt certainly makes me smile. It's just what she was after, no point going for anything understated when it's for an occasion such as this.
DeleteHa, I love how Rudolph's nose lights up!
ReplyDeleteIt's brilliant, isn't it? I'm not looking forward to washing it though.
DeleteJumpers that light up.... what a great idea! I've only seen festive ties with flashing light before. I don't envy you the washing process tho! Jx
ReplyDeleteI never thought about washing it when we bought it. There's one thing, she won't be missed with her flashing lights.
DeleteWe were looking at Christmas jumpers in Brigg last week but they weren't as fab as that one! Love those lights. x
ReplyDeleteShe wanted a full on Christmas jumper and I think she found it.
DeleteGreat idea, not sure that people knitting one themselves would get it finished by the 12th if they started now. The one above is very cute. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI know I wouldn't have a jumper finished by the 12th, I'm a very slow knitter, but there's some very fast knitters out there that would have no problem with that task.
DeleteWe've got our Christmas jumpers ready here, anyone not wearing one on Christmas morning will be paying a forfeit! My girls are trying to get me to knit one for the cat, I dont think she'll be too happy about that! Good to hear Eleanor will be raising money for charity by wearing hers. x
ReplyDeleteI think you should definitely knit a jumper for the cat, I bet she'd look very cute in it. Eleanor's school usually have all sorts of things going on during the Christmas Jumper Day so they usually raise lots of money for Save The Children, a great cause.
DeleteThat is a brilliant jumper ! She is going to look great x
ReplyDeleteThey certainly won't miss her coming with those flashing lights.
DeleteI like the lights! My husbands work is having a Christmas jumper at work day, so I just bought him one, but he thinks that the one I got is too tasteful! I think that he would have loved one with flashing lights, but I'm not sure that I could have coped with it!! I hope that everyone at Eleanor's school has a great day and lots of fun with this. xx
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of Christmas Jumper Day is for everyone to turn up in garish jumpers, that's how Eleanor's playing it anyway. There's actually some really lovely Christmas jumpers now, though I think they mostly used to be very tasteless.
DeleteWhat a fun jumper - she'll enjoy wearing that!
ReplyDeleteIt will certainly get her in the Christmas spirit.
