IT'S Christmas Jumper Day and hundreds of people across Hampshire have pulled on their woolly wonders for charity.
People are wearing their festive knitwear to raise money for the Text Santa appeal which will provide funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, Make-A-Wish® and Save the Children.
Later today a host of stars will feature a three-hour TV spectacular to raise more money.
Students at Wildern School are among those donning their festive jumpers for the cause.

It comes as online clothing retailer Banana carried out a survey which said 81m Christmas jumpers have been bought in the UK, with people spending £1.7m on festive knitwear.
They said Southampton has the third-most Christmas jumpers in the country, with 58 per cent owning them - behind only Sheffield (69 per cent) and Manchester (60 per cent).
