Page 4 | Xmas day in PJs?

namechangetheworld · 24/12/2025 22:19

I just find the idea of spending the day in pyjamas - even clean ones - really grim. Especially the thought of eating Christmas dinner in them. Boke!

DC will wear their onesies/dressing gowns to open stocking bits (usually in our bedroom anyway) but then have to get dressed. Nothing fancy, just jumpers and leggings, but they need to be washed and dressed before opening anything else.

I’m now committed to wearing PJs all day tomorrow. Christmas Highland cow ones that are super soft. Merry Christmas! 🐮

They are nightwear. And look very much like they’re nightwear. If any relative wore this at Christmas we’d be getting them sectioned. Surely these threads are just trolls? No one can seriously think wearing PJs like that during the day id ok?

Are you normally this ignorant facetious about mental health?

Some of the most mentally unwell people I know always look very well out together. Some of the most well functioning people I know couldn't give a fig what they look like.

I often wear very comfortable/casual clothes due to a physical disability. Ignorant comments say more about the superficiality of the person making them than they do about the person wearing the outfit in

if you read earlier in the thread, we’ll have 20 of our extended family with us tomorrow - all will be wearing themed pj’s for the annual competition.

The pj’s I have are silk and beautiful - definitely won’t be worn in bed

What’s wrong with them - they were gorgeous on and I felt great in them.

There's nothing wrong with them. Some people can't comprehend that not everyone wants to get dressed up on Christmas day

Myself and DH get dressed and both sets of parents come to us, also dressed. Me and my mum like to make a bit of effort, nice top and jeans or knitted dress. My DS who is 13 has announced he's wearing PJ's, he'll be getting showered and teeth clean etc then put on fresh undies and PJ's. I've no issue with it at all.

Christmas day in our house growing up we would all dress smartly! Dad would have his Christmas tie, mum in a smart top and christmas earings, us in any new clothes :) We still do it to this day. I could never imagine wearing pj’s for Christmas! But then Im the type of person who got dressed smartly and put a full face of make-up on when my contractions started 😂 so each to their own

I can’t imagine that level of dressing up when you’re only eating at home - doesn’t seem very relaxing or practical for playing with toddlers on the floor or family games like Twister (big favourite in our home).

Can someone please add a link to the sort of pjs they mean? I cannot comprehend wearing a pair of pjs during the day and it NOT being utterly slovenly. I think I must be misunderstanding something.

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?

Dressing up.in pyjamas- contradiction 😂

I think it’s a bit grim to remain in the same clothes you slept in. Doesn’t have to be formal but surely from a hygiene perspective you should change?

I imagine most people own more than one set of pyjamas

IidentifyastheGrinch · 24/12/2025 20:15

We have a quiet day, we've been working and juggling flat out all autumn. The children come on boxing day. We will get up and out with the dog then come home and have hot baths and I will definitely get into fresh PJs. I am just planning to read/watch films/build Lego for the rest of the day so see no reason not to be comfortable!

On years where we are having a big family Christmas then we would dress nicely etc, but this year is all about a rare chance to rest.

GarlicBreadStan · 24/12/2025 19:50

Shock horror - I've just had a bath, then got into my Christmas pyjamas, and I probably won't change until tomorrow night (into more pyjamas!)

ThatJadeLion · 24/12/2025 19:40

Its lazy and slovenly. My opinion.. before someone jumps down my throat!!

Why - what’s lazy or slovenly about having a shower and dressing up in new silk pj’s?

Sigh, you put clean ones on after your morning shower.

Not everyone sleeps in PJs.

People just can't seem to expand their minds anymore.

Runnersandtoms · 24/12/2025 19:36

We're a dress up in nice clothes family. My dad and DH don't own or wear pyjamas so that would be awkward. Plus we like to take lots of family photos at Christmas so like to look nice. There aren't many opportunities to dress up these days so it's nice to do so for Christmas.

We buy the PJ’s specifically for Christmas and to dress up in - there will be lots of photos. - we will definitely look nice - and the photos won’t be shared outside the family.

gamerchick · 24/12/2025 19:45

Ah the annual pjs are gross thread. Wouldn't be Christmas without it

They aren’t - they are new bought specifically for Christmas Day - silk and glamorous- and won’t be worn in bed.

GentleSheep · 24/12/2025 19:44

Have never done it, am more inclined to dress up a bit.
