\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s 16 December on our Essential Advent Calendar and Weymouth singer Ysanne wants us all to become a Christmas Jumper!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ysanne, from Weymouth, has been asking people to get involved in The Christmas Jumper Challenge, where you upload a video of yourself jumping in your Christmas jumper. Businesses and organisations across Weymouth so far\u00a0have been pouring in, with the challenge raising money for Julia’s House, and Save The Children.<\/p>\n

Ysanne told the Weymouth Echo that she loves the work that Julia’s House does, and came up with the Christmas Jumper Challenge as a way\u00a0to raise awareness, and fundraise for the charity.<\/p>\n

So far, The Post Office, Specsavers, Let’s Dance, Whizz Kids, Lloyds Bank, Marks And Spencer, and Razzamatazz, all in Weymouth, have got behind the idea and been jumping to raise money.<\/p>\n

The challenge involves people recording themselves and their friends doing as many different silly jumps as they can in thirty seconds – wearing Christmas jumpers, if possible.<\/p>\n

Ysanne has recorded a special loop of her charity Christmas song, ‘Christmas In The Sun’, which she asks be used while performing the jumps. You can find the song here:<\/p>\n
