Thoughts on Christmas scrubs...Yea or No way?? Would I look like a goober or would I be in the holiday spirit???

I love wearing Christmas scrubs, there are some really pretty patterns. I don't usually start wearing them until at least after Thanksgiving though. There are some that are kind of more "winter" than Christmas that you can get away with wearing for a long time after Christmas also. (I need to go shopping :) )

I say ... absolutely! ... but it depends on the dress code, and on the culture, of your workplace

I am wearing them. My office wears them after thanksgiving.

I'll be wearing my Christmas tree and Santa print scrubs after Thanksgiving.

I loved mine... feeling bad that I can't wear them now in OB... Maybe I need to find a scrub jacket with a holiday print!

I say have fun and wear them!

My facility wears them (LTC), I don't though. Being a poor student for so long, I can't afford scrubs with such a limited life. And I'm kind of a holiday scrooge too :) Retail wrecked me for holidays.

I had to wear whites, but I used to wear a small string of battery-powered multicolored lights over my shoulders. I'd place the battery end in my shirt pocket. I was festive.

I'm not a Christmas person at all. But I will get one special Christmas print to wear on Christmas day because I'll be working. I'm looking forward to spending Christmas day with my extended family at the LTC I work at. I don't live any where near my own family.

No way. In some environments, I suppose they are totally appropriate. I think they look unprofessional in adult acute care. I work with nurses who wear seasonal scrubs, so obviously not everyone feels this way. I wouldn't be caught dead in them; I would feel too much like a kindergarten teacher.

of course!!!!!! and even more so if you're in pedies. unless there were stringent rules against doing this, I would most certainly. this world is in enough hurt and any uplifting thing is a great idea. (military mom here). enjoy the holidays!!!!

Perhaps on Christmas day itself would be nice. I can see I'm in the minority but I'm not big on them. Just doesn't seem professional to me. I tried to get in the spirit a couple of years ago and wore some pumpkin earrings to work one day. Ended up being the day my patient stroked out and eventually passed away. I remember feeling stupid in those pumpkin earrings as I was telling the family their loved one is dying.

But maybe I'm just a scrooge. I'm sure it depends on the workplace and the culture. Just promise us you won't wear them until after thanksgiving :)
