I'm glad it's Summer at Christmas in Australia so I don't have to wear one. They are dead set ugly.
Bonnie
Player #38618593, I agree!

Player #38618593,
YES! YES! YES!
They are different names for the same garment and you can add " pullover" to the mix as well.
What you're saying is the same as saying that an egg plant is not an aubergine.
They are the same vegetable, but on opposite sides of the " pond"

Here in the U.S. I've only heard the term "jumper" used to describe a piece of clothing for infants/young children. Obviously a term used in the UK to describe what we call a sweater.

Certainly doesn’t get worn in Australia. Hot, hot, hot here. We go to the beach

Player #38618593, Actually, in some parts of the world it is.
I knew that word would incite some people, especially those that insist that 'football' be called soccer!

We call them sweaters, but aside from that ... We don't have a tradition of wearing them on Christmas Eve. Maybe the question should have specified which Western culture?
