A the best
D the least
C is confusing. If that's a pair of partridges in a pear tree, why do I see apples and why is it a pair? And if it's 2 bluebirds in an apple tree, how does that tie in to Christmas?
I suspect that C came from a foreign land.
(where Christmas is centuries older and includes more lore than in the US)

Can see we have something in common: a tendency to analyze. LOL.
I looked at the OP and thought: "Is this some sort of personality test?" LOLOL Forgot about HO HO HO. Yes, am distractible.

Having established that, the design on sweater C looks Ukrainian to me, or maybe Bulgarian.

This from a New York Times article from 1962...
"Maybe partridges perch in pear trees at Christmas in some places, as the old song says, but in our part of the world they mark the latter part of winter by perching in apple trees. When the countryman is startled by the loud whir of wings beating from his dooryard apple tree toward the woodlot, he knows it is early March."
What does the writing under the tree in pic C say, @debodun ?

I agree on the collars, but I do prefer the graphic on C. However I didn't notice the collars until you mentioned them. It's probably the first time I realized women's sweaters had collars, hmmmmmm, wonder what i've been focusing on all these years!
As an aside, I never wear red and I could never wear anything w as much going on as the 4 sweaters pictured so any of them would be personally scary for me to wear. To those that can, you have my admiration.

These all look like women's sweaters to me. I would wear something a bit more masculine, like the one shown below. Now that's a Real Man's Sweater!

I chose B because if I wear it on Feb 14th, 2025 to my doctor office they won't try to give me a mental status exam, as if I didn't KNOW Christmas has come and gone two months ago.
Those doctors will use any excuse to bill at a higher rate or for unnecessary procedures....

I'm like you I would never wear any jumpers like those... not even at Christmas ..I also hate wome's jummpers in geneal which have round necks. Women who are blessed up top, look particularly bad in round neck jumpers... but aside from that Christmas jumpers just don't float my boat

of course they're women's jumpers because they all belong to Deb
I like C. It resembles a sweatshirt I have that's blue and white.

None of them, they are just not cringeworthy enough.
See what I mean? If one of these guys sat next to me, I would have to get up and leave. Someone might think that I know him!

You can hang me over a fence before I would get caught in any of them.
is that not the point of Christmas shirts - to draw attention? in a silly fun way.
anyway I vote for A - best
not sure which is least - not a fan of the extra collars and B a bit too understated.
I thought the same.Having established that, the design on sweater C looks Ukrainian to me, or maybe Bulgarian.
Just for you guys one of many festive holiday suits. And theyre on sale! https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Ba...9014870&hvtargid=pla-2281435177618&th=1&psc=1

The tag on sweater C says it was made in the U.S.A. and it says "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".
