Xmas day in PJs?

Exactly.
How do so many people have such rigid thinking?
I can't even imagine being so small minded that I would be"horrified" by what particular style it clothing someone else wears at home.

All the people who wear pyjamas because pyjamas are more comfortable.

My clothes are comfortable. I buy clothes that fit me and they are... Comfortable.

Who said anyone was buying uncomfortable clothes?

What are these clothes everyone is terrified of that are so uncomfortable they have to wear nightwear around the house? Why are you buying yourself uncomfortable normal clothes?

I literally get dressed to go to work (change into uniform there) then as soon as I’m home I put jamas on. I then have a bath/shower at bedtime and put fresh ones on. Repeat daily. If I’m not leaving the house I just put clean ones on. I have “women’s problems “ and hate anything tight on my tummy. So loose clothes all the way. As it happens, I had surgery yesterday morning. Had a brand new pair to take with me, a new pair for when I got home. Then washed and put my Xmas ones in to match with my Oh and kids. I’ve got a lovely new set for tomorrow (having a full 3 course Christmas lunch being delivered!!) Then, the only day we are having family (that isn’t my mum), Boxing Day… we’ve got a few family members (adult kids and their babies) and parents coming for a few nibbles etc. they all know I’m going to be a bit useless and probably not much of a hostess… so they are all coming in jamas to have a family jama day!! Even awake now in agony, it’s turning out to be a really nice Christmas!!

especially if you do cooking as well.

Are people really that invested in what other people wear for Christmas? Wear what you like. I’ll be in yoga pants, tank and cardigan sweater. The thought of dressing up at home is not my thing but if it is yours, go for it

I love breakfast in pyjamas but can’t imagine eating turkey and all the trimmings in night clothes.

Velvet all the way here!

Whenever I am home I am wearing lounge clothes or pjs (same thing) unless I know someone is coming or I need to be out somewhere. No one would know and im comfy. My eldest will be wearing pjs to my sisters house for xmas tomorrow. No one really cares.

I am quite frequently in pyjama bottoms at home, but ironically, on Christmas day I quite like getting dressed up and would never wear pyjamas all day. I don’t think wearing pyjamas goes well with drinking fizz - personal opinion.

It just shows we’re at. Everyone rushed, hardworking and busy. So much so that the ideal celebration includes comfort and relaxation at the heart of it.

I agree OP, and never, ever, spend the day in pjs unless I'm ill. Thankfully people don't do it here as Christmas is in summer, but the very idea of spending the day in pjs gives me the shudders. I would feel like I'd given up on life. And, I might add, I am spending the day alone, not even then would I contemplate it. It's downright weird.

I mean, who cares? Youv wear what you want, other people wear what they want, everyone is happy.

I LOVE pjs and will wear them as soon as I am home. They are comfortable and clean. I don’t understand how people can wear jeans and relax. My kids will wear their new pjs.

I guess I might take the odd photo on Christmas day but not really,.I tend to take photos when we're out and about.

And I don't know where you buy your pyjamas but mine are warm and cosy and not at all flimsy.

We sleep naked, so any pyjamas I own are strictly for lounging. I’d think it was a bit skanky to spend the day wearing pyjamas you’ve slept in, but I might change into my Desmond and Dempsey ones after our morning dog walk as it’s just immediate family here tomorrow.

its never stopped the crazy family games :) baring in mind we are farmers, so it makes a massive change for us to have an excuse to dress up

I'm not sure why you equate "taking family photos" with "treating Christmas as a photo shoot". Don't you ever take photos of your loved ones on special occasions? Or do you think it somehow spoils the fun?

And no, pyjamas aren't generally 'robust' - they're designed for sleeping in. So quite the opposite, really.

This is a fine line though - I have bought “lounge wear” that I regular sleep in, and “pyjamas” that look more like lounge wear and that I wear as such as you’d never know they’d been marketed as pyjamas.

Tbh we don't treat Christmas as a photo shoot we are too busy chatting and playing games

Decent pyjamas don't have to be made of silk and can be perfectly robust.

Logically your response is entirely irrational. Most pyjamas are far more substantial than shorts and t shirt or a little party dress and noone would baulk at living in either of those.

Horses for courses, I guess! The thought of spending ANY day in pyjamas (except when ill and confined to the bed) honestly makes me feel a bit ill. Especially Christmas, when people are trying to take nice family photos. Generally pyjamas are thin, crease easily, and, well, look like pyjamas. And if you're spending £200 on polyester silk pyjamas just to sit around in them on Christmas Day that's bonkers.

Same, we are having a huge cheeseboard with salads and fresh bread and salamis.

You realise that's totally irrational though?
I can't imagine being that limited in my thinking.

Objectively a decent fresh pair of pyjamas is no different from casual wear and probably covers far more than a skimpy party dress would.

Not everyone is having a Christmas dinner. We're not.

What's the prize?

I kinda wish I'd got silk jammies for Christmas now. They do feel nice on.
