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

@Needmorelego

Anything other than pyjamas, jogging bottoms or leggings tbh! Doesn’t have to be a ballgown or anything!

My new pyjamas are nice - infact they are gorgeous! I won’t be slobbing about - why would I? It’s a special day not a regular day.

@LuckySantangelo35 define "nice clothes".....
What's nice to you may not be nice to someone else.

@Parker231

because it’s nice to wear nice clothes sometimes for a special occasion rather than slobbing about in pj’s or loungewear like regular evenings!

Exciting??

WTAF is exciting about an item
of clothing??

@VioletSpeedwell I don't wear traditional PJ's, I'll be at a friends & will be wearing cropped leggings, the thinnest pair I own & a Christmas t shirt. If I'm still melting like a candle I'll change into bike shorts.

its like a day on the sun. They seem to think it's some treat, I spend half the day outside trying to cool down!

they'll be in joggers/jeans & Christmas t-shirts/jumpers. Their teens don't seem to notice it's like a bakers oven & still wear jumpers/hoodies.

id do the same if I was at home. (But with the heating off/down & being able to stay inside)

so not PJ's but not dressed up either.

You’re not selling it to me @Parker231 but I do love your enthusiasm 😀

I find the ones I have are flattering but wish they did them in longer leg length - I’m quite leggy and some aren’t long enough!

Christmas Day is definitely a party day for our family as well. We make a lot of effort over our outfits - for us they happen to be pyjamas.

Does it matter if it is lazy? What if someone decided for their Christmas Day they wanted to sit and do nothing (in pyjamas or any other attire) because that's what makes them happy. What's the issue with that?

For most people life is really busy with lots of things going on. There's no shame in wanting a 'lazy' day occasionally.

If you'd prefer a not so lazy Christmas then great, do what makes you happy but if a lazy day makes others happy then what's the problem?

@pilates I have the opposite thinking.
I'm waaaay beyond a size 6 and I prefer pyjamas (or loungewear ) because they are generally loose fitting and actually fit me.

I’m don’t find pyjamas are the most flattering unless you are size 6 which I’m unfortunately not.

We’re getting dressed up - in special pyjamas - has taken me weeks to decide on which pair to buy. Am looking forward to feeling elegant for the day.,

Why do you think it’s lazy? When I think of lazy, it’s when people sit around doing very little? Wearing special pyjamas for Christmas Day isn’t being lazy - no different from getting up and putting on any outfit.

No. Its lazy. Christmas day or not, its lazy.

I'm working christmas eve night and christmas day night so will definitely be spending all of christmas day in my PJs.

However normally when off work I prefer to put in some effort and get a little dressed up. It's always been a tradition of ours as a family

@ Parker231 -

I regard Christmas Day as a bit of a party. I cook the nicest dinner of which I am capable and always have a fair few family members with whom to share it. Why, when I am making an effort with everything else, would I not make an effort with my clothes? I absolutely appreciate “different strokes for different folks”, but that’s how we do it in our house. The OP asked if spending the day in my PJs appealed to me - that would be a hard no!

I find it odd that you’re “dressing up” but not going anywhere.

I’m astounded that anyone should spend the whole of any day in their PJs, much less Christmas Day, which for me is a chance to dress up (and yes, I do smell of cooking at the end of the day, even with a most capacious apron!)

Maybe I have a strong sense of smell then as I absolutely reeked after cooking a lentil bolognese the other night. The smell clung to all my clothes. Same as when I go to coffee shops I have to change as the coffee smell is rank.

@PinkRetro I cannot believe people actually think in this way, or it must be me and i’m
a disgusting person as I often spend Sundays in pjs if not going out and yes I cook in them too…they don’t start to stink of food. I thought I was quite uptight about a few things in life and have some anxieties, but bloody hell

A lot will cook though.
Hopefully they will change their pj's before bed.

We won’t be doing any cooking on Christmas Day - it’s a cold buffet and I won’t be wearing the same pyjamas to go to bed in anyway

Cooking smells attach themselves to clothes so if you cook in your pyjamas and then go to bed in them you are going to smell? @Parker231 .

Ahhhh this is perfection! I can imagine your DS turning up in one of those pinnies (but as PJs) with boobs on. 😂

Best year here was "old lady" PJs. Easy for me, but DH ended up with a pair of too short frilly blue things and his little hairy ankles sticking out. 😂 We don't always theme though, that was lockdown and I think his Mam might gripe at her son in a leotard or something. Or maybe just not fancy her pasties. 😁

I'm still on the hunt, I can't find what I want this year. I'm after Victorian-style for some and just fuzzy things for others.

Not all day for me - it's like being ill without being ill. We sit around in them for breakfast & stockings & champagne drinking in the morning though. Feels decadent enough!

Also I don't want to walk the dogs in pjs. Or cook in pjs. But I really and truly don't care what other people get up to - it's Christmas - each to their own version of happiness!
