It’s finally close enough to Christmas now that we’re allowed to talk about it, and that means one especially important topic of conversation: Christmas jumpers.

We usually pop down to Primark if we’re after something delightfully naff, or our local charity shop if we’re feeling a bit braver.

But now, Whoopi Goldberg will soon be providing a selection of Christmas jumpers for us to choose from too, as she’s releasing her own line of them for Lord & Taylor.

And they’re perfectly kitsch - apparently, one features an octopus in a yarmulke standing on a menorah (for those celebrating Hanukkah), another a black Father Christmas and white Father Christmas having a smooch, and the other, well:

“There is a Christmas tree with a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, and on the other side, it’s a Christmas tree of how the Christmas tree sees itself, which is a big, lush beautiful thing that’s lit, and the lights light up,” she told Vogue.

She said she loves “what we call an ‘ugly Christmas sweater’” - but wouldn’t call her own pieces that, and more of a “funny sweater” instead:

“You can’t call them ‘ugly’,” she explained.

“Mine are kind of ‘funny Christmas sweaters’ or ‘Christmas sweaters with a twist.’ They are actually quite wonderful, and they feel good.

“I have a lot of sweaters that I have bought from lots of different people over the years, but it seems that after two, three years the sweater quality has gone down for me, so I was kvetching about that. I think that’s what initiated it.

“But I love good sweaters, fun sweaters, and holiday sweaters, so I’ve tried my hand at it.”
