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

The first thing I do in the morning is get dressed! I love getting dressed for the day. I only wear comfortable clothing so it doesn't make any difference from a comfort level.

I think the pyjamas thing is a reaction to when Christmas day was quite formal and hard work for whoever was cooking etc.
Personally I think its nice that things are more relaxed but I wouldn't feel comfortable staying in pyjamas all day.

Makes you snarly when you're not getting laid. Happy, content and satisfied people don't call people names and consider others less than them. It's weird.

We dress up but in pj’s. Am considering these for this year as the theme is wildlife.

Although I do admit when this thread crops up every single year that I find it weird when people describe their clothes. It's never a nice top and a skirt. It's always brand and description of style coupled with brand and description of style. Topped with something or other described footwear with a splash of whatever perfume type stuff.

Like dude, just say top and skirt.

Oh dear. That’s pretty unnecessary.

I agree. I don't care what other people do, but it isn't for me. I don't wear pyjamas for a start, but I usually wear joggers/leggings in the house with a t-shirt or jumper depending on the weather.

I do like to dress up a bit for Christmas day because it makes the day feel a bit more special. None of my clothes are uncomfortable BTW.

I just peg these people as not getting laid at the minute.

I agree with the posters about the sneering. People who are genuinely happy with their life and choices don't feel the need to sneer at others for something so daft as what they choose to wear in their own homes

Yes, it's actually quite amusing. Cant imagine getting all frothed up about something that doesnt affect me in the slightest 😂

@PaminaMozart "but there's no way I'd accept people coming to the table in sleep attire."

I could guess that from your use of the term "sleep attire"!🤣

I agree - some posters have forgotten that we all have different ways of celebrating - some are long standing family traditions - I wouldn’t change ours for anyone.

I know people who do it and that's absolutely fine for them but its not for me. I would just prefer to dress up for Christmas lunch.

I agree with the posters about the sneering. People who are genuinely happy with their life and choices don't feel the need to sneer at others for something so daft as what they choose to wear in their own homes. Words like 'slobbing' etc.

I know people think it makes them look superior but it just makes them look like Hyacinth Bucket.

Everyone can wear what they want, eat what they want, at what time they want, open their presents at what time they want or not have presents at all if they want on any day of the year, including Christmas day.

And people who don't do the same are not weird or inferior so let's stop the judgment and the name-calling.

If you want to dress up do so. If you don't, don't.

There's literally no need to negatively judge people who don't do the same as you when you're talking about such insignificant actions and behaviours.

We don’t all wear the same pj’s as we have a theme competition- it’s our family favourite tradition. I have the photos going back 20 years.

No pyjamas, thanks. I’m usually cooking so will wear something cheerfully festive looking, so probably red, but that won’t be ruined by the inevitable splash from the roasting tin. Somewhere there’s a Christmas apron with robins on, but either I forget or can’t find it on the day.

Sneering at anyone wanting a day in pjs as lazy - Aren’t we all entitled to a lazy sloth day now and again?

And rather than this being ‘only on MN’ it’s quite common in my friends group to have a PJ Sunday every so often with absolutely no guilt

"To be honest I never believe anyone who says they have a shower and then put on a clean power pyjamas for the day."

Why? what a bizarre thing to disbelieve.

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 🙄

No - I'm a soft leggings and fluffy jumper girl! My DD lives in her pjs though!!

Dress andn nice jewellery my family are photo takers!

We had matching Christmas pyjamas one year. Didn't share any photos with anyone but the children thought it was great.

Life is much simpler if you concentrate on your own life and not worry about what others do in their own home.

Why is it lazy and gross to decide to wear different clothes than you have chosen? I will shower before putting on my new pj’s and I won’t be lazying around.

Hell I wouldn’t wear pjs in front of anyone other than my dcs or dh.
Why on earth would you shower and then put pjs on to greet guests into your house? 😬
When I put my pjs/nightie/Onesie/Oody on, I don’t put a bra or knickers on. It’s comfort wear and I really,, really do not want to sit and eat dinner with people wearing pjs. It’s just slovenly.

My kids don't wear pjs so get dressed. Plus we go out to my sisters. I will get dressed up but will get into pjs about 8pm!

Like a pp I don't even stay in them at the weekend. Once I'm up I get dressed. I find wandering round in them until 11 odd.

The difference between them and normal clothes is the fabric is generally thinner and you probably don't have a bra on.

People on Mumsnet can be so horrid. Imagine judging someone for what they wear in their own home. Weird.

We all put new PJs on before bed on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning we get up, straight in the car in our pjs and round to the grandparents to spend the day there.

I'm disabled and my husband has a chronic illness. It takes me hours to shower and dress, so doing that on Christmas morning would mean losing most of the day, because afterwards I need to rest. Lovely to know that I'm lazy, slobby, disgusting, smelly and whatever other delightful words were used.

Personally, I'd rather use my very little energy on being able to watch my family open their presents, eating Christmas dinner and spending time together, than being laid up all day just because I showered and dressed.
