Christmas Jumper Day is an annual celebration observed on December 7th of this year. With the snowy winter season, it is indeed necessary to wear a jumper or sweater. Some of you would have a jumper which you wouldn’t wear in public due to the embracement. Christmas Jumper Day encourages you to outfit those colorful, woolly, fluffy kinds of jumpers to raise funds. It is a fundraising celebration that will help underprivileged children. The celebration day falls before Christmas day to raise money for those children to let them enjoy the festivities.
