Spare a thought for whoever is cooking. They are up at seven with a bird the size of a spaniel, they will be in that kitchen for six hours, and a chunky knit under those conditions is a form of punishment. This is the section for them: aprons, novelty chef’s hats, oven gloves and the odd bit of festive kitchen tat that makes the whole business slightly more bearable.
An apron is the sensible answer to the Christmas jumper problem in a hot kitchen. You get the festive look across the front, you keep the gravy off your actual clothes, and you can whip the whole thing off before anyone sees you sweating. A novelty hat does the same job for the head, and has the added benefit of making it unmistakably clear who is in charge of the sprouts.
It is also, we would argue, the most reliably welcome Christmas present in the whole of this site. Everybody has somebody who cooks the dinner and complains about it affectionately for the rest of the year. Give them something to wear while they do it.
