Charles Dickens practically invented the modern Christmas, so it’s only fair he gets a jumper. Our Merry Dickmas funny Christmas jumper is styled as a Victorian Christmas card, with an ornate red-and-gold frame, snow along the top and holly in the corners. Inside, under a starry night sky and beside a glowing gas street lamp, Dickens himself wears a Santa hat and winks at you, quill in hand, dressed in a green frock coat, a deep red waistcoat, a bow tie and a pocket-watch chain. MERRY sits at the top in white serif letters, and DICKMAS sweeps across the bottom in grand gold Victorian lettering. The great author is the alibi, the wordplay does the rest, and it all adds up to an innuendo Christmas jumper with a literary degree.
The card is printed large across the front in bright, full colour, with a thick black outline that shows up on all 11 colours: red, purple, navy, royal blue, charcoal, Irish green, forest green, maroon, sport grey, black and white. It’s perfect for English teachers, book clubs, the staffroom Christmas party and anyone who has watched every version of A Christmas Carol. Among funny Christmas jumpers, it’s the one with a reading list. Among hilarious Christmas jumpers, it’s the one that pretends to be educational.
It’s one of our rude Christmas jumpers with a library card, and a perfectly defensible offensive Christmas jumper: you’re only celebrating a famous novelist. File it with our rude Xmas jumpers, offensive Xmas jumpers and inappropriate Christmas jumpers under classics. Part of our profits also goes to mental-health charities, which feels very much in the Christmas spirit Dickens wrote about. Pick a colour, select your size and place it in your basket, ordering early before the Christmas rush turns into a tale of two queues. Bookworms, here is the most learned of our funny Xmas jumpers and inappropriate Xmas jumpers, and one of the funniest Xmas jumpers ever to quote a novelist. God bless us, every one.
