YES, YOU ARE correct. There was a time in recent history when Christmas jumpers became ironically cool, or ‘trendy’.
Let us examine the evidence.
They haven’t been cool since 2010
Even then, they were starting to grate a bit. If someone showed up for pints in a lighty-up jumper you’d be all, ‘heh’. Now? They just join the queue of 1,000 others swarming the bar for a hot toddy.
Psst. They’ll be a thing.
Pubs are literally banning you for wearing them
There is no sight that would put you off a pub sooner than a rake of gas tickets filling in to it, all wearing matching Christmas jumpers and reindeer antlers.
Make it original, like these lads
You are almost guaranteed to get stuck to someone in a stuffy pub
See those bobbles? They will stick to you.
They’re so expensive and you can only wear them once or twice
Talk about putting a limitation to the banter.
Penney’s start selling them in September
Nevermind being sick of them by Christmas day, we’re sick of them by Halloween.
Football teams are evening jumping on the bandwagon
Time for you to get off.
Some people are even starting to make their own and we can just not let this happen
* Barf*
Unless it is these people. These people get a pass
Go hard or go home.
Supermarkets are a no no
What do they have to do with Christmas?
Dublin failed to break the record for most jumpers worn last weekend
Evidence of waning interest if there ever was.
Do the right thing, leave the jumper at home.
