00:00Yes, I love jumpers, t-shirts, long sleeve tops, anything Christmassy, I just go all out.
00:05I've got Christmas sobs, Christmas earrings. Yeah, I'm all for it.
00:09Yes, we like our Christmas jumpers. We usually have a Christmas jumper day.
00:14Personally, I've toned it down, so now I have red with jewellery.
00:22I just wear what I'm given.
00:25I just looked at one. Yeah, you did.
00:27Literally, just looked at one. Yeah, so more of a brown hue, slightly blue Nordic look.
00:35Yes, I wish I'd bought it. I haven't put it on to you right now.
00:37Yeah, I'm not keen on that.
00:39Whatever's the most obnoxious one, to be honest.
00:42Like, what makes me different than everybody else? How can I stand up?
00:46You get them, and then you just build to your collection, and then you just wear them year after year,
00:50and then just get more and more and more.
00:52And then you can always give them friends if they haven't got one.
00:56Well, well, I don't like it, but we don't buy a new jumper.
01:00We buy from a charity shop, and then we go back to the charity shop, and then get the next
01:05one there.
01:06Yeah, that's how it's been working for the last 10 years.
01:09I call them traditional types. Then everybody knows it's Christmas, don't they?
01:13Well, so I'm more Cameron Diaz in the holiday.
01:17Oh, here we go.
01:20So we should be reusing, saving the planet, do you know what I mean?
01:24Like, make it cosy. Like, I'm quite a sentimental person,
01:26so keeping things, it means more to me than, like, reusing things.
