To ask if spending ALL of Christmas Day in your pyjamas appeals to you or

I would wear nice Xmas jammies in the morning for opening presents and breakfast but then change into comfy clothes for the rest of the day. It doesn't give me the ick as such if they're clean jammies and I'm clean, but I like to feel festive and get the use out of an Xmas jumper

It's not fun though. A large family sitting around eating and drinking in clothing they wear in bed is dreary and depressing.

If my husband wanted to spend Christmas Day in his pyjamas I'd go right off him.

My two Christmas Day outfits this year are new pj’s and then ski gear. I promise we will shower at least once and the grandparents and children will all be doing the same. There will be no slovenly behaviour!!!

So a large family having a family pj competition is self-centred ? Have you not heard of having a fun day?

What’s slobbering? I’ll be wearing new PJ’s after showering but nothing lazy or negative about it.

Nope, we have christmas jumpers/tshirts we tend to wear xD

I will get up and have breakfast in the winter/xmas/new pjs we got for going to sleep in xmas eve, (not a new thing either, i'm 43 and my parents did it for me when i was a little child.) then get dressed about 10ish.

Might put PJ's back on about 7pm to relax with a drink for the evening.

I honestly get the ick at this at any time of year. It's depressing because it feels inert and apathetic, and creates a general atmosphere of stasis that affects the whole house.

Sleepwear is for sleep.

As ridiculous as I'm sure I'll be told I am being, it feels symptomatic of a general drift towards individualism/self-centredness and away from 'shared' anything - norms, wellbeing, sense of purpose and common goals etc. It's a small thing when set against all the other egregious examples of 'me first', but fundamentally it comes from the same place - my comfort is the most important thing. "You don't have to look."

Also (and related) it makes me think of bumjuices.

We all do fresh pjs when we wake up (I don’t sleep in pjs) and then we go for a long walk at about 11ish so we obviously get dressed for that (Christmas jumpers and jeans - nothing too dressy) and have our meal at about 4 we get home. Then after dinner we often get back into pjs if we want too.

I have been in pj's for last 2 days, no shower, just enjoying my days off work, l will shower later in preparation for work tommorow and put clean pj's on. I could care less if anyone judges me.
I will be working Christmas day so no pjs for me, would if l could.

Mostly this thread is just showing who is a dog owner and who isn't! I can't spend all day in my pyjamas, much as I would like to, as the dog needs a good yomp over the fields at least once a day (and yes, I have tried doing this in my pjs and it did not end well).

I don't even own any pajamas so definitely not

I think it's likely that slobbing around in grubby pyjamas would significantly reduce your chances of getting laid. 🤢

bless you man.

It's a no from me.

@DocileWimps Poor example to set to children? What do you think will happen if children are in an environment where some days people choose to wear pyjamas if they don't go out?

Maybe it's a good example, living in a relaxed environment where people are not worried or judgemental about what they're wearing in their own home?

I have a shower and then wear loungewear. I spend most of my time at work and wear business attire so it's bliss to be able to relax in my time off. Not quite sure what's so unbelievable about that 🙄

That isn't the same as slobbing around in pyjamas.

Loungewear is casual day wear and on a freshly showered body, perfectly acceptable day time clothing.

Be careful - this particular snarky poster will accuse you of having no sex life (as if it’s relevant/ as if it’s a crime) if you express a negative opinion on MN…..

Absolutely agree.

I think people who are too lazy to dress properly are unlikely to bother washing.

Once you have made the effort to shower, you might as well dress properly too.

All this nonsense about proper day clothes not being comfortable is just an excuse for slovenly behaviour and a poor example to set to children.

@henlake7 I don't leave my flat unless I have too. If I want fresh air I open the door to my Juliet balcony.
(I don't have a dog though 🐶)

@Maverick101 well if it was that I probably would wash them before.
I don't always wash brand new PJ's though. My daughter has sometimes been so excited to wear new PJ's that she has pulled them out the Primark bag and put them on before I've had time to hang my coat up 😂

It's not the all day pjs that get me it's the fact that you presumably are t going to leave your house all day....that's the bit I would find hard to deal with

Why is it "hard to deal"; with other people not going out for one day of the year?

Seriously? life must a constant ordeal for you if this is the case

No, I mean the posts where it's really clear that (for example) there's a Christmas Eve box with brand new PJs in it. Not clean PJs

Absolutely. I work full time, have a young adult DS who lives with me part time, I have a very active social life and so I take any chance I get to lounge on the sofa in PJ’s binge watching Netflix.

If anyone wants to judge - oh well I really don’t care!

Me and husband are at work 6 days a week, we spend Sundays running around. We don't have dogs. Why would we want to go out? We've got 3 days off Christmas week and the ones the week after everyone gets. We're knackered

Everyones lives are set up different.

They look Fab. I do not look that good in pjs.
