What do you wear on Christmas Day?

Just that really - our Christmas is generally casual but I like to dress up a little more than usual whilst leaving enough room for a giant dinner

Please can I steal your ideas?

Usually a tunic and leggings type ensemble to allow for the meal.
I wore a silk dress once and splashed gravy down it, never again

This year I'm wearing my favourite jumpsuit that the top part is Lprint and bottom is creped black. I am loving the new patterns about though so might treat myself to something new.

We don't leave the house and it's just us and the kids, but I either wear a nice dress or something like a sparkly top with my jeans or whatever. Dh has always cooked Christmas dinner so I don't have to worry about kitchen disasters on my outfitGrin

This year I'll be wearing one of the fabulously tacky Primark Christmas jumpers. mine is bright red with a giant Christmas pudding on it. I got one for each of the kids too with Reindeer on them - dh was being grumpy and refused but he might find one in his stocking Wink

I'll probably dress it up a bit with some coated black skinny jeans

Not thought about ityet. God I am so disorganised this year. Usually a lovely dress, shift type thing so not to show the bloat!

Did you get the jumpers this year sweetheart? I need a Christmas jumper for a wedding on 22nd December - the tackier the better.

Yes Primark is bursting with them this year. They seem to have childrens and mens but no womens - I brought an age 12-13 childs jumper for myself but I'm guessing a small mans would have fit too. They are all really bright colours.

Smart casual as I'm the cook.

I'm not sure yet, but it will involve a bit of sparkle, and probably some festive earrings too.

DH is totally bemused by the whole dressing-up-at-Christmas thing. His family just slob out in trackies.

Usually a knitted dress - comfortable and a little more dressy than normal - I am partial to an apron though, may request a poncy Toast version this Christmas - normally wear a bar tender style butchers style.

I always treat myself to a new outfit in december that gets worn on christmas do's, christmas day and boxing day if clean enough. Then I wear it on new year if going out then my birthday and our wedding anniversary in January. I'm a big girl but I got myself a knee length black lacy dress for this year. New knee high boots and footless tights.
