Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Jumper
Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Jumper | Debbie Johnson
12 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
For single mum Maggie, Christmas has always been a family occasion - her daughter Ellen filling the house with her bubbly warmth and mistletoe, her dad Paddy having one too many festive tipples, and the traditional family Christmas tree looking like a drunken elf vomited a rainbow all over it. But this year, with both Ellen and Paddy away for the holidays, Maggie's facing a truly blue Christmas - alone with nothing but a bottle of Baileys and an M&S turkey dinner...until, walking the snowy streets of Oxford, Marco Cavelli quite literally crashes into her life - and, complete with broken leg, becomes her unexpected houseguest. All dreamy brown eyes and 6'5' of gorgeousness, the man is hotter and more delicious than a freshly baked mince pie. But isn't it a truth universally acknowledged that you never kiss a man in a Christmas jumper?

I read this a few years ago on my kindle…it was really cute! And it was the first book to come to mind for the #knitwear prompt. 😂

Read this a few years ago…it was really cute, and there were some differences, but so was the Hallmark movie!

One man‘s ugly Christmas sweater is another man‘s pride and joy! 😱😂 My sister and I got multiple use out of this questionable holiday sweater before it was donated to (hopefully) another appreciative wearer.

CBee I love that Brits call it a jumper; in fact, I might like that better than sweater! I‘d much rather jump than sweat 😂😂😂 2y
Andrew65 @CBee I wonder where the word jumper came from. 2y
Andrew65 @CBee This link gives the derivation of the word, amazing what you learn on a Readathon 😂 https://www.reference.com/world-view/sweater-called-jumper-4d2c19609e80845 (edited) 2y
CBee @Andrew65 oh thank you! I had a feeling “sweater” had something to do with actual sweating 😂😂 2y
Andrew65 @CBee Interesting where words come from. Sweater is quite a strange choice too. 2y
MatchlessMarie @Andrew65 love it lol I feel like I have been picking up a lot of UK phrases this past year as I have mostly listened to UK Indie and Brit Pop for music. I think pranged out and spanner are some of my favorites. 2y
Andrew65 @MatchlessMarie Amazing the different words used both sides of the Atlantic. 2y
marleed it's only this year that i realized a UK jumper equates to a US sweater. And now i notice it over and over - to my complete entertainment.

Andrew65 @marleed Strange how that happens. 2y
AnnR I still remember 'jumper' from the Harry Potter movies. That's when I first made the connection and realized Mrs. Weasley meant sweater. 2y
Andrew65 @Ann_Reads Surprised that they didn‘t change the terminology for the film. (edited) 2y
marleed @Ann_Reads I‘ve noticed it so often this year. It makes me wonder where my head was in the many (many) years I didn‘t make the connection. In my head a jumper is the skirt version of bib overalls - although not necessarily made of denim. I wonder it I was always picturing that. 2y

Same story, different wrapper, but cute nonetheless. Four bingos and blackout, and this was apparently based on a book.

This was cute! While riding their bikes, British single mom Claire has her world turned upside down after a dashing American crashes into her, and she‘s left caring for him while his broken leg heals. It‘s not the Christmas she counted on but it might be the one she needs!

I have this on my #kindle and didn‘t get to it last year, and I definitely need to read it this season. It‘s going to be a Hallmark holiday movie this year!
