Christmas Jumper Day will be the 2nd Friday before Christmas Day.
Unless Christmas Day is a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. In which case it is the Friday before Christmas Day.
Unless the Executives tend to work from home on Fridays. In which case it is the Thursday before the 2nd Friday before Christmas Day.
Unless Christmas Day is a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. In which case it is the Thursday before the Friday before Christmas Day.

| The kind of jumper worn on Christmas Jumper Day by people who don't have friends the rest of the year. For some reason. |
Unless this causes Christmas Jumper Day to be the day after Office Party Night. In which case the sight of all the cheery jumpers the following morning after Office Party Night is likely to cause people who've been to the Christmas Party to retch like unto the Great Fish that vomited up Jonah onto the beach at Niniveh.
And so if the Christmas Jumper Day falls on the day after Office Party Night, it is to be moved to the day of Office Party Night. And thus the sort of sad gets that think that Christmas Jumper Day is great, get to wear their crappy Christmas Jumpers to the Office Party.
If this means that Christmas Jumper Day is a Wednesday, there can be a secondary Christmas Jumper Day on Friday. Sure, the Execs won't be there. But everybody else gets to look like a raw prawn twice.
Happy Christmas!
