Today is Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day!
All over the UK people are wearing their festive jumpers to work and school; getting out those reindeer threads and raising money for a wonderful cause.
**Christmas Jumper Day is an annual fundraiser organised by Save the Children, celebrating the festive season and raising money at the same time. Celebrities have been sporting kitsch woollies, John Lewis are selling jumpers with £25 of the price going to Save the Children, Woolly Wonderland has been drawing the crowds and world renowned choreographer Arlene Philips is adding even more excitement on the day by leading Save the Children’s attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people wearing Christmas jumpers in one space! **
I am, of course, late to the party! I blame the time difference, being five hours behind can be tricky! I got back from the school run just in time to join the twitter party :)
We also don’t have any Christmas jumpers so we donned our red outfits and added a bit of festive bauble cheer for our selfie…
You can find out more about the campaign by heading to the Save the Children website.
You can donate £1 by texting TEAMTHINLYS to 70050 (you’ll be billed £1 plus standard rate text message. STC will receive at least £0.99 depending on your network) or here.
Also, do pop your Christmas jumper selfies on Twitter and Instagram using #xmasjumperday – seeing all the fabulous festive ensembles has certainly put a smile on my face this morning :)
**AND Westfield have announced that for every blogger who uploads a post about the campaign, along with a festive shot of themselves in a Christmas jumper, £10 will go to Save the Children. Be sure to tweet the link to your blog post to @westfieldlondon so that they know you’ve taken part.**
Check out what’s going on at the Woolley Wonderland pop-up at Westfield Stratford City here.
So, get your jumpers out and donate. Go on. You know you want to!
**I shamelessly nicked the info about the campaign from the lovely Chris over at Thinly Spread, have a look at her fab post here for more details about the event!
I was also inspired by the lovely Annie over at Mammasaurus to create my little holly bauble addition – amazing what you can do at 7am with some baubles, foam board and florists wire :)
This is a blog hop!

I love to learn about new things. Thank you so much! It was a nice idea to post about this. I do not have a jumper, here in Thailand but interestingly, we are just moving back to Europe for a while so from next week, I will even have a scarf and Zoárd will be showing off his snow suit. :)
