Do You Wear Your Best

[emmie]

clothes on Christmas day. I often wonder as I see people who are happy to go to dinner, or the theatre, dressed in t shirt and jeans, which i wouldn't do. We always had a new outfit at Christmas when young, not that we didn't get new stuff the rest of the year, but this was always something a little bit special. Shiny patent shoes and the little red frock coat, that brought back some nice memories, any you remember?

Nope, im working, I will however wear a nice red waist coat to work.

[mccfluff]

i probably won't get dressed. unless i go to the pub, then i suppose i ought to put something on..

[emmie]

that's nice, did your folks get you new clothes when a child, especially for Christmas day.

[cazzz1975]

unless I was going to go out for lunch I would wear casuals

[jackthehat]

Christmas Hot-pants, fluff?

[rowanwitch]

if we are at mums I might wear something a bit nicer...at home this year so leggings and a tunic I expect

[Bluestone]

My kids will be dressed in "best" clothes. Son in a shirt and tie (as much as he will protest it!) and daughter in a dress - looking every inch the Veruca Salt that she is :P
We are going to my parents, so it will make a change this year to not be hot and flustered when everyone else turns up looking perfect!

I will be wearing jeans.
Apart from the fact that I don't own any 'best' clothes, I will only be seen by my family so why would I dress up?

[cazzz1975]

I only used to get new shoes at the starts of September, they would have to last the year. I have never received clothes as gifts, I remember receiving handkerchiefs from my nan when I was 6.

[rowanwitch]

new clothes for christmas and easter.... new shoes spring and autumn...

[emmie]

perhaps this is from an earlier age and a direct consequence at least for us, shortages in the war. So the folks wanted to make up for lost time.

[tonyav]

I want a new Villa top.

[mazie]

I will spend most of Christmas day in the kitchen, so skinny jeans, nice top and some big dangle earrings to make me feel christmassy..Oh, and my Apron :o)

[ummmm]

No...We will probably be in our 'new' PJ's. We all love them :-)

[rockyracoon]

Yep, we all make an effort, all the family are round and it's not an ordinary day. That being said I won't be wearing a ball gown and tiara ;)

[ummmm]

Bet the jeans are gay, Triggs!!

[mazie]

We always had new outfits at Christmas and Easter. Always had to wear our new clothes to go to my Nana's for Christmas lunch and Tea

[ummmm]

We are on our own this year, we would wear our nice clothes if we had guests. We will dress up later to go to the inlaws in the evening.

[Baldric]

I'll make an effort and actually press a shirt for the day ;o)
