Xmas day in PJs?

I read it on here quite a lot that people spend all of Xmas day in PJs. Each to their own and all that but I just can’t imagine it…I guess I could imagine it more if we got a takeaway for dinner but just can’t imagine cooking & eating a Xmas dinner in PJs! So am I in a minority? Is it normal?

I don't want to look at anyone's genitalia bulging through thin cotton, thanks.

Eh?

@AshesUnderUricon why are you spending your Christmas breaking into peoples houses to stare at their thinly veiled genitalia? You know Netflix is approx £6 for a month.

Slovenly! Blazers, chinos and dresses minimum..(half joking)

You do you.

PJs are comfortable and I will probably be in a clean pair of bottoms and a baggy Christmas jumper.

We are out this evening seeing DH family and then hosting my family on Boxing day.

Turkey is in the oven right now, gammon came out a short while ago.

Tomorrow is a lie-in and a relaxing day with only veggies and other sides to sort out.

It’s just clothes though isn’t it so getting up and dressed and changing into pjs or jeans is not that different.

I have a new pair of chocolate brown velvet ones. Much smarter than my usual attire 😁

PumpkinSparkleFairy · 24/12/2025 11:27

Of course it’s not normal to wear pyjamas all day if you’re well 😂

Sounds cosy if they're fresh pj's. Slobbing around not having had a shower tho - I hope that's not what people mean

I put fresh pjs on, usually a pair of new Chelsea peers as a little treat to myself. Not ones I’ve slept in

Of course it's normal, but if it doesn't suit you then just get dressed.
