Xmas day in PJs?

Well I dressed up Christmas day (not as in night out), but just a nice midlength dress and thick tights), some makeup, no bling. It felt much better, and I enjoyed dancing a long to Christmas songs! I felt more cheerful as I cooked and drank bucks fizz. Dh was dressed too, dcs stayed in pjs, then had Christmas night baths later on, and changed into second pair of clean pjs. Boxing day I lazed about in pjs eating leftovers.
Why would anybody care what others do?

Some people might think pyjamas are just for bed?
Some people might think it's nice to dress up for a special day?
I think pyjamas have taken the place of trackies or similar comfortable casual gear.
People can do what they like, I guess.

I don’t wear pj’s in bed.

It doesn't matter how much they cost, or how silky they are, they are nightwear - clothes you wear at night, in bed.

I couldn’t do it - it’s usually varieties of smart-ish casual here, but each to their own.
What I really would never want is any of those ‘perfect’ Christmas Days, similar to what they like to include in e.g. House Beautiful mags (pics shot in June in a Georgian ex rectory 😂) where everyone inc. kids has to dress up in their sparkly ‘best’.

Pj’s are clothes - I don’t sleep in them

Exactly, our Christmas fun is playing games with extended family, enjoying a meal with crackers, silly hats and jokes, taking nice and funny pictures, enjoying chatting in a relaxed way. We have loads of fun, wearing clothes.

Are thick dressing gowns allowed as part of the styling? Anyone wandering around our house in winter just wearing pyjamas would die of cold in a short time.

I’ve never slobbed around particularly not in new $200 silk pj’s.

Oh for Christ sake. It's not "slobbing around". I am in my best, most productive, most chilled out moods when I'm wearing pyjamas. Clothes irritate me and even though I buy clothes that fit and are comfortable to most other people, they make me want to rip my skin off. I'm not "slobbing around", I just like being as comfortable as possible.

I get dressed when I am going out. That's all I need to be dressed FOR.

There's no need to be so pissing judgemental just because you have nothing better to focus on.

Yes, I realise that you didn't use the term "slobbing around" initially. It was the poster you were replying to. But you still speak with so much judgement, you may as well have.

Most posters know exactly how to have fun on Christmas Day and it has nothing to do with slobbing around in their nightwear.

All my clothes are comfortable but spending Christmas Day in new pj’s is a fun way to spend the day.

I honestly think that some posters have totally forgotten about having fun on Christmas Day.

I don't understand this. My clothes are comfortable, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them. What's the attraction of PJs?

A pair of new pj’s are perfect for a fun Christmas Day at home.

I am 72 and I did a PJ Xmas day for the first time. It was bloody great! Just me and DH.

This

You're right.

I don't believe anyone would get up in the morning, get showered, teeth brushed, hair brushed and then put clean pyjamas on.

Why would you?

Surely the whole point of wearing pyjamas all day is because you're too lazy to get yourself ready for the day and staying in your minging nightwear means you can avoid making an effort.

I feel wierd if I'm in pj's all day tbh, feels like i should be ill. If people are wearing underwear underneath it's fine, I think I'd feel a bit exposed to be swinging loose under pj's with no bra.

If we arent going anywhere for christmas the pjs are on. We always go for a christmas morning walk on the beach and when we get home we 100% all put new pjs on. There comfy and thats what i want. Im 100000% not a dress up for christmas person. But each to their own, no?

Agreed. The most precious photos to look back on later on are the ones of kids with grandparents or other family. It's not a photo shoot, it's capturing happy moments (rarely posed).

I'm curious if people who wear pjs all day wear a bra underneath???? To me that's the main thing that makes pjs comfy for lounging on the sofa, the lack of bra. But I wouldn't want to be walking around with extended family, hugging people, playing games, eating dinner with boobs flopping about lol. I realise this is maybe only a consideration for the larger ladies but still.

So many health professionals in here.

Awww God bless you original commenter 💚🤗💚I kind of see both sides as growing up my Dear Mum always would get my Brother, Her Lovely Self & me all dressed up for Christmas Day, but we used to go to Christmas Mass so it was kind of expected in church - But we'd come home & wear comfortable leisurely wear after - I completely comprehend how for some, Christmas Day is one of very few days, some families, & some individuals, have to just chill out wear pyjamas & totally relax for once, all day, too💚🤗💚

Pj's are only nightwear for us. I can't see the point - if you're getting showered, brushing hair and teeth, generally making yourself presentable then it's as easy to get dressed into daywear as into nighwear, surely?

You're either for it or against it. Not really important in the grand scheme of things, is it?

I couldn't do it, I like to get up , showered and dressed but I'm usually in my PJs by 5pm, even if we're at someone else's house.
