Do you buy new matching family Christmas pj’s every year?

We all get new pjs at christmas but not matching and not christmas themed

Ha ha ha!

Never even considered it.

I did for this year but only the once and I purchased them in the clearance sale from last year way back in January for £4 a set. Kids are little and it's fun.

Definitely not, & I speak as an enthusiastic adopter of the 'oh look, the elves dropped you in new PJs & a fancy sachet of hot chocolate' brigade.

Dc are in late teens. There's only so far I can realistically expect suspension of disbelief...

Nope. Though back when the kids were small we'd buy then new pyjamas for Christmas Eve. But not matching and not Christmas themed. I think it was kind of accidental the first time. We'd bought new ones just before and having them put them on for the first time that night seemed a nice way to mark Christmas Eve. So since they needed new ones ever year anyway we timed it for then for a few years.

I dont.

I work in a clothing warehouse and the amount of matching pjs we have in and are picking there is a few thousand households all going to be wearing the same set.

So wasteful. I have bought matching for everyone twice before, but with four kids we hand them down. Mine still fit (just about 🤨) as do my teenage daughter’s who is adult size 8. The other kids wear whatever fits them until they grow out of them at which point they get passed on to family. The two sets of matching are all coordinating (red/white patterns).

People buy matching Christmas pjs every year to look good on Instagram, and that’s basically it. My cousin freely admits to just throwing tons of stuff away as she buys so, so, so much every Christmas. It’s fucking depressing.

Yes for the kids but not me and Dh. I go a size up and I give them on the 1st December and try and go for something like a traditional plaid to get full winter use out of them two years in the trot. They are also unisex so get passed down.

No, and any Christmas themed pjs bought for my children are worn all year round and passed down to the younger ones once outgrown

No.

A synapse has just exploded in my brains just thinking about it!

I don't, but the Christmas Tree does 😉 Every Christmas Eve we have matching pjs from under the tree (usually sainsburys). We change into them and eat curry and watch the Snowman. They are now teenagers and still love it.

(I only have one brain btw)

I think it is a common tradition for new pjs at Christmas. I always got some as a child (none matching and not Christmas themed) and have already got my kids some in the Frugi winter sale last year (impressed with myself for that to be honest! 😂)

Christ no. Never.

God no, why? I hate PJs, so does my husband. Why would you inflict that on your family? Who is going to care or see it?

No.
Nor jumpers.
So wasteful.
Also not my personal taste.
I'm not offended by people who do but I do wince at the buying to be worn once or twice bit.

I feel ill just thinking about matching pyjamas.

Yes!!

DC are teens now and I suggested dropping it. They gave me a list of traditions that I must never stop doing 😂

No, DH and I don't wear pyjamas. DC1 thinks it's cringy, DC2 only wear pyjamas bottoms, DC3&4 have matched when they were tiny and probably would now if I bought them.

I only did this one year - took lovely photos of the dc. Never got them again as little did I know it was the year I very nearly lost all my children to ss through no fault of my own and now the thought of matching Xmas pjs gives me anxiety. I look a bit at those pictures and think how close we came . Thank god we had the social worker we did who saw through it all and investigated properly

Not every year but we have them. It’s cute and fun and it hurts no one. I wouldn’t ever get any with the date on like I’ve seen this year.

Of course.

No. But I do buy the dc new Xmas pjs every year and they wear them for the rest of the winter. I wouldn't be opposed to matching ones (not for me though I don't wear pyjamas) but dd1 likes cotton ones, dd2 likes thick fluffy ones, and dd3 likes the light micro fleece ones.

Why are you asking, @Doughnuts68 ?
