I was torn between this shirt and my elf "Son of a nutcracker!" one. I wore that last year though.

I wear these earrings often in December. They usually last about 6 hours before they get uncomfortable and I take them out. I hope I am not there that long....

It's going to be quite warm on Christmas day. 53 degrees. So no Christmas sweater this year. Probably my black cords, red sparkly shirt and snowflake earrings and necklace.

I will be wearing a bathing suit in the pool, unless it is raining, and there is a 24% chance of that, which means I will have to have other options.

Nothing new, just whatever I find and is comfortable, maybe something red.

The plan is....to be making custom seat covers . DH is hung up on the "Carhartt" name brand right now. Carhartt seat covers, front & rear for his truck...only $550! He says they're water proof. OK. I'll spray them with Scotchguard! lol That is insane!

I'll be wearing sweats with a tape measure around my neck. Hopefully... sewing up a storm!

Lars, do they make Christmas speedos? Lol.

I will be home, so I will be wearing what I normally would. If it is warm....like 70's, it will be shorts and a tee shirt. Jody and I may go exploring around here, and looking in the old cemeteries for roses that I can take cuttings from. (A couple of 6-8 inch cuttings is all I need). There are so many little cemeteries up here. . I swear there are more dead people than those still living.

Nicole that's funny! I managed to find SO a Carharrt Christmas stocking this year! It's his favorite brand. Everything is expensive but at least it's good quality.

functionthenlook, in the past I have made my own bathing suits, but not lately. I made one Speedo-like bathing suit that was red and black lycra, but that was back in 1988.

nicole___Take a look at NeverWet waterproofer. I used it on my running shoes last winter and it really did work to keep my feet dry in rain and snow -- unless I stepped into a deeper puddle, because it can't keep a tidal wave from getting through the mesh part (it doesn't block the holes).

susanwv -- LOVE those gnome sweatshirts!!! Where did you get them?

I wear Christmas clothing/earrings from the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas eve. On Christmas day I wear a red sparkly sweater.

Roxanna beat me to it. I love the gnome shirts, too!!

amylou...We bought him a Carhartt vest "and" a sherpa lined jacket...a week ago. He has the knit hat and coveralls. :0) I like Carhartt.

A major part of my celebration was at church today, and I wore a red wool flannel "Made in Canada" shirt, bought a number of years ago, with a plaid companion, when a downtown clothing store was closing.

With an old pair of gray pants, which I'd patched with a piece from the cuff, carefully done so that it doesn't show.

With an old black suitcoat, whose pants' seat had grown so thin that it was dangerous to wear them. The coat's side pockets have developed major holes ... but the "Order of Service" from both churches wasn't sliding down, and they provided enough support so my box of next year's offering envelopes didn't, either.

Had a "Merry Christmas" hat ... but though the message is seasonal ... the construction is of thin cloth, pretty well for summer wear.

There is only a slight bit of snow left unmelted, and none expected between now and Christmas ... so it looks as though there's to be a (more or less) green Christmas, this year - but the winter wheat crop in a nearby field looks somewhat the worse for wear.

Christmas day will be at work in normal work clothes. I work in a dungeon where no one sees us, not wearing anything special. I did order a nice Christmasy shirt for our Christmas dinner next Monday. I'm having major doubts that it will be here on time.

I've been in my robe all today. Tomorrow, nice pants and a sweater for my "family dinner". Tues night, black velvet and diamonds. Christmas Day, a very special custom made deep raspberry wool robe (yes, I AM wearing it over to my daughter's house and under a coat when I take my son to the airport - picked him up tonight in my robe!).

Amylou, what does it mean, that you will be minioning?

I'll be wearing a black velvet skirt, white silk blouse and a peridot torsade on Christmas Eve. Christmas day will be a loden green skirt with a cream silk blouse. I don't get dressed until at least Noon on Christmas day though. We get back late from Midnight Mass and don't get to bed until two or three and then though I have teenaged boys who like to sleep in, they will be up early and I will just lounging in my robe, eating panettone all morning.

Bpath, Minioning, to be a minion, I think.

Bpath,working. I am a night minion who minions.

But what is a minion and what is minioning? In terms of a job that is.

I am curious too, what type of job do you have Amy?

Christmas Eve heading to MIL’s. Probably black pants, some top that I’ll figure. Preferably with a little color. I’ll ask my husband to drop me off at the “almost midnight” mass at 11 on the way home. Although he was raised by a strict Catholic he rarely will attend. I run hot and cold as far as attending mass. We’ll see if someone will come with me.

Christmas morning, I’ll be busy making Christmas breakfast. I’ll wear my nice (ish) robe as opposed to the usual sweatshirt. Later I’ll dress up a bit. With an apron on as I make Christmas dinner.

I use the term "minion" because I just do what I am told. Minion work.

"Minion" is NOT my job title. LOL! (Though I do sign all my emails to others in my department: "The Night Minion." The other night person signs his: "Your humble servant."

Amy, what is your job? Do You work in a hospital?

No. A refinery.

It’s going to be warmer than normal here too, so no sweater for me. I have a lightweight red knit top I will likely wear over dark gray leggings to DD’s house for Christmas brunch.

We are all up in years and family loves to make lots of pictures. Each year we have one or less family that has passed on. I will be wearing a green silk blouse, black velvet skirt. Amazing our family that lives close, still gets together for holidays. We laugh together saying we had "facebook" in 1950 meeting on grandparents porch every Sunday afternoon. My dad had 14 siblings and everyone came with all their kids each week. Kept up with all the news on family.

Our holidays are pretty casual so will be in an oversized sweater and comfy pants.

Judy, all this time I thought Amy works in a hospital! Not sure where I got that idea!

Pants will be anything that stretches!

AmyLou, I love your sweatshirt!! I will be in jeans, a winter sweat shirt & Christmas earrings. Merry Christmas!

I will be wearing black jeans and my Christmas zip up sweater. It's more like a hoody, except it doesn't have a hood. I wear it once a year and it's my nod to the ugly Christmas sweater craze that has swept America, except that I think it's cute, not ugly.

Along with my hoodless hoody, I will be wearing these snowmen post earrings that a friend made for me one year when an online jewelry community that I'm a member of held an earring swap. She ended up with my name. I love them, and because they aren't really Christmas related, I can wear them throughout the winter.

For those who like Carhartt, a month ago, Costco had Carhartt coats available. As I recall they were $59.99 and looked to be typical Carhartt quality. I don't know if they still have them or not, but might be worth a look if anyone is going to be in Costco. I have a pair of Carhartt jeans. Love the fit and all the pockets, but the canvas/denim they are made of is so thick and stiff that they can practically stand up on their own!

My Christmas sweater (I live in Fl)

Christmas eve I'll be home with my pup and I'll be in my pjs - I have a Christmas pj top (I think it's holiday bears). I wear it Nov thru maybe April anyway. it's light weight but has long sleeves. on Christmas day I'll wear my red Christmas sweatshirt ($2.00 from W after holiday clearance a few yrs ago) and jeans (elastic waist) to my sister's house. I'll take my Christmas t-shirt with me just in case they keep their house warmer than I do here. it's white with Christmas dogs on it. I'll take my Christmas socks with me to wear inside the house.

I attempted to buy a red sweater of some sorta but decided there's no way...going breakfast over at my parents and it gets too darn hot in their little house. I'm opting for layers...with a red shirt of some sort!

I live in Florida. We actually do occasionally get some "cold" weather but this year it looks like it will be mild. We natives are cold when it gets down to 32. So unless it's a little chilly we will be wearing mild weather clothing with maybe a flannel shirt to knock the chill off in the morning. The rest of the day it is parked on the back of the dining room chair.

Susan, your gnome shirts are really cute!

drewsmaga, that's a great sweater. My sister lives in Florida and loves flamingos. She'd adore your sweater!

We natives are cold when it gets down to 32

I'm cold long before it gets down to 32! it's in the 50s here and I'm cold. I like it ranging 70-80 or so and mostly no rain.

Today I have a pair of lose fit hot pink gym pants with an apple green t shirt , I want some bright colors, not traditional Christmas colors.

Purple

Sue

Black pants and a black top with some criss-crossed lines of bling.

Anyone else wearing non traditional Christmas colors today? :-)

Right now grey GAP yoga pants and an AE cotton top. I'll change to a black turtle neck , black dress pants, and a long white sweater.

Jeans, a Merry Christmas shirt and Christmas socks of course

DawnInCal I bought this last year at Walmart and wore it again this year and will wear it every Christmas. Last year, my then 7 yr. old FL grandaughter asked if she could have it after i died! :-)

ritaweeda You must live in N FL to have 32 degree weather (I lived in the Jax area for 11 yrs. and am in Orlando area now. I'm in a down jacket at 60 degrees! :-)
