Day 346

Christmas is now inescapable.
It's here, it's hungry and it's swallowing all of our bank accounts.
The penalise-period of addressing the season prematurely has long since subsided and around 13 days remain until the main event kicks off. 13 days of bludgeoning people in the street during the heated last minute shopping battles (which can absolutely be avoided by making your purchases bludgeon-free from my online shop by the way), 13 days of trying to disinfect yourself from awful, crippling flu, and 13 days to humiliate yourself at various raucous Christmas parties.

I'm currently at a raucous Christmas party myself actually, (though you'll be reading this the following morning when I have wifi/consciousness) and the dress code is understandably 'Christmas Jumpers'. Had this have been any other year, I would have panicked at the attendance criteria as I am typically without such attire, but this is the year of the THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge. This is the year that I am trapped inside T-shirts rather than seasonably themed jumpers. This is also the year that Jolly Clothing has ensured I'm prepared for such an eventuality.
Helen from the brand has donated some more festive fibres to my project; a grey comfort-fit T-shirt with a snowman print across the full canvas designed to emulate a knitted Christmas jumper. In fact, all the Jolly Clothing stock emulates knitted Christmas jumpers, thus the basis of their appeal this time of year.
The beauty of course is that this isn't actually a Christmas jumper. It's a light-weight, cotton, airy, mock Christmas jumper, which means that once the alcohol and embarrassing dance moves take hold, the soaring bodily temperatures won't. I'll be cool in terms of both style and Celsius (I'm certain there's a marketing strapline to be made out of that).

So if you need some last minute festive threads, this is where you need to go.
