Of course, Gordon had the most outlandish collection of tacky Christmas jumpers.

Every year from when he was 8, sometimes even before December, he would travel to the mainland with an unlucky relative to help him find another hideous jumper for his collection. It had become a yearly tradition at this point.

The exclusive Gordon Tracy Christmas jumper collection had a broad range. Some went down to his knees; others were hilariously too small for him. Many were red, some a tacky green. A few special ones had lights built into them that made him resemble more of a Christmas tree than a man. Some were soft to touch; a couple were sort of fuzzy in texture.

Gordon kept all of them in a separate, albeit very full, set of drawers in his room that was never opened until he got his annual new one.

He would always wear his newest one to the Tracy Family Christmas dinner, which sometimes wasn't at Tracy Island. They would alter every year between Lady Penelope's and Tracy Island with Gordon ensuring he had the correct attire on every time.

With rescues becoming more and more often in the past few years, Christmas dinners had to be interrupted or delayed occasionally. And of course, things were never the same without his father, who had always joined in on the fun with Gordon.

He kept at the tradition even after he'd gone to remember his father in his own special way.

Gordon Tracy had probably the biggest collection of Christmas jumpers on any ocean. He was quite proud of that and always would be. In a few minutes, the Tracy Family Christmas dinner, this time being hosted on the island, would be served, so, Gordon was wearing his latest green and blue jumper with a snowman on sat down and waiting for food.

Little did Gordon know; his tradition would be re-joined by a familiar face next Christmas.
