Merry Christmas from Narnia Dispatches - Our Faves Bringing the Presents


 

 

We at Narnia Dispatches did not want to let this special day go by without a wave and salute to those faves we follow, while we wait to get a few new posts up.  

There are reasons why they originally caught our eye and while their ongoing roads can get pretty bumpy at times, these are some of the moments where we say "Yeah, he's so awesome" or "They're fire".   

Or in Jake's case - "Jake, Jake, Jake..."    LOL!

I'm kidding, I'm kidding!   No, really... 😉😁💓

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Santa Claus Checks His 2022 Lists for Narnia's Faves

 


He's making a list and checking it twice!  Who has made Santa's Nice list?  Anyone make the Naughty list this year?  Not Narnia's faves, Ne - vah!!

No, we have all Good Boys this year.  They have endured, struggled, sent Morse Code and wink signals to fans,  sneaked in shout-outs to each other, fought the system, worked hard, displayed their talents, and looked out for one another.  Not a perfect year, but who has one of those?  [Okay, okay, Jensen & Jared spent more than their fair share on the Naughty list, but if you pay attention, they will sneak in plenty of name-mentions and Jared as Jensen's +1 at The Boys' after-party this year was a peak move!]

Narnia Dispatches salutes and wishes to our faves, a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays!

 

 

No one was worked any harder in 2022 than Harry

The Sweater Boys Save 2020 Christmas - Merry Christmas to Us


 

Narnia Dispatches brings some of our fave people of the mic, silver screen, flat screen and natural grass to get you in the mood for a holiday evening spent with a nice movie, maybe some hot chocolate, popcorn, seasonal music, or perhaps a phone call to someone far away and let them know you're thinking of them.  How about some cozy sweaters???

Like Mr. Harry Styles in a very festive red sweater,



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And let's just get this one done and over with, our regular bump in the road aka Blake Shelton, who crop dusts noncompliance onto Narnia posts.  So, here is Blake; with no sweater to be found, but we have snow and a muffler.  So, there you go.  😐


 lol, no, Blake looks quite hot there, doesn't he?? We're sure that Adam appreciates it!  😉

Speaking of whom, here's his guy Adam Levine,


And we can't have a theme post without couple Kevin McHale and Austin P. McKenzie!  Kevin always knows how to strike a pose, here he is in a bright yellow sweater,


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and bonus Kevin with Austin in his knit top,


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

And well, you know that Liam Payne is going to rock a sweater.  We just are not worthy of Mr. Payne!


and so if we've got Liam, then that means his man Zayn is following.  Here is Sweater Zayn!


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

Jensen Ackles seems to learn towards the thick and chunky sweater; check this terra cotta number out.  Very sharp, Jensen!


And there's no question, that Jared is going to follow.  This is a screencap from the show, but it is such a nice sweater, Narnia can't resist.





 

 

 

 

 

Where does one begin with Jake?  Jake Gyllenhaal is the kingpin of Sweater-dom!  The question is which one...


Niiiiice!!  And is Austin going to pull a Blake on us?  He's juuuust about as bad as Blake.   Eureka!! Check this one out, who would've thought?  Here's Jake's better half, Austin, in an actual chunky sweater.  I think my eyes deceive me.  This is from Sundance in 2014, with a fan.


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

Without meaning to separate Louis Tomlinson from Harry, in my haste to sit Blake Shelton in the corner for always being the non-conformist, I neglected to get Louis in next to his partner, Harry!  Here is Sweater Louis, matching his guy, red for red.  We would expect no less.  They are an ideal couple, after all.


 

And how about #87, Travis Kelce, this year's Kansas City Chiefs nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year for 2020!  This guy knows how to stop traffic.







And donde esta Nialler?  Niall Horan in a fine coffee, cashmere looking sweater.


And while we don't see Patrick Mahomes too often (like, hardly!) in sweaters, this quilted-type jacket just about qualified as one.  It remains one of his best looks.



And Adam Lambert is here with a vintage sweater look,


And so, we're just going to leave this here, following Adam.  A bit of Mr. Kristopher Allen - looks like a perfect shawl-collar match to me!

😉



Josh Duhamel is going to round up this year's holiday pictorial, and Narnia had to dig back through his archives to find this one.  Josh seems to favor T shirts an awful lot.  ;-)  But he's got the cozy  going on here,



 

And that will end our sweater tour of our OTP's and honorary members.  Gets one in the mood for a cup of hot tea and perhaps a cookie or biscuit, doesn't it?

Narnia wishes to extend to our readers a huge thank you for visiting us and happiest of holiday greetings.
