DESCRIPTION:

WEAR A JUMPER.

SAVE THE CHILDREN


Christmas Jumper Day is a festive and fun event celebrated annually in the United Kingdom. It typically occurs sometime during the week of December 9. Participants are encouraged to wear their brightest, funniest, and most outrageous Christmas jumpers (sweaters) to school, work, or just around town.

The idea behind Christmas Jumper Day is simple: everyone who joins in wears a Christmas jumper and makes a small donation to Save the Children. This contribution helps fund the charity's work in providing essential services and support to children worldwide.

The event has gained immense popularity across the UK, with many schools, offices, and community groups participating. It's seen not only as an opportunity to have some seasonal fun but also as a way to raise awareness and funds for a good cause. Social media plays a significant role in the day, with participants sharing photos of their jumpers using specific hashtags, thus spreading the word and encouraging others to participate.

Christmas Jumper Day began in 2012, and each year, it grows in popularity, reflecting the UK's love for Christmas and charitable giving.

Ireland also celebrates during the week of December 9 to fund research and services for Multiple Sclerosis.
