The Christmas jumper is cool

UK: They’re cool all year, so we can excuse the air conditioning and refrigeration industry losing its street credibility once a year in aid of Save the Children.

Last Friday’s annual Christmas Jumper Day again saw a large number of refrigeration and air conditioning people don their most embarrassing Christmas-themed woollen creation in aid of charity.

Christmas Jumper Day is an annual fundraising campaign in the UK and Ireland organised by the Save the Children charity. For one day, people are encouraged to make the world better with a sweater and raise funds by wearing a Christmas jumper and making a minimum donation of £2.
