AIBU to stay in pjs on Christmas day?

[Pushpushpoosh]

We have DC's 3 and 18 montns, this is the first Christmas we will be staying at home all day, we have family coming to us for Christmas dinner but it's going to be a very relaxed Christmas day for us all due to bereavements in the family this year.
I've got the 4 of us matching Christmas PJ's (cheesy I know but DS was so excited) and was going to change into them on Christmas morning and wear thrm for the day so we will all be comfortable. I don't see the point in getting dressed in our best to stay at home and eat all the festive treats
However some have mentioned they wouldn't dream of having a pj day on Christmas Day (not those coming for dinner).
So AIBU does anyone else do it or is it Christmas best for you?

If you're going to put them on clean in the morning, go for it (I wouldn't wear them if I'd slept in them all night!).

We will be doing the same if we aren't having anybody round. If DP's family are coming or we're going to MIL's we will have to wear nice outfits as DP and MIL would be appalled if we wore pyjamas all day!

Won't your guests find it a bit uncomfortable? If I was invited to someone's house for Christmas lunch and when I turned up they were in pyjamas I'd assume they'd forgotten I was coming.

You'd put underwear on under your pyjamas wouldn’t you OP? Please say you would.

The thought of an accidental sighting of a non-underpanted penis bulge through a thin layer of pyjama bottom would put me right off my pigs in blankets.

You do you, OP. It's not my cup of tea, but it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do in your own home. Have fun!

I'm doing this but we don't have guests. Even with family I think it's odd.

“It's not every year so why not give yourself a break and just do what you want”

How is not wearing clothes giving yourself a break though? . It’s hardly climbing the north face of the Eiger putting on pants, a bra, jeans and a top.

We do this, though get showered and put clean pj's on (we dont sleep in them)

I do get dressed for dinner which is about 6pm

No one will care

If I wasn't going round my local pub for a cheeky drink I've been known to swan around in jamas and not Christmas ones either.

This all day in pjs, is not just for Christmas --- when a duvet day, what else would you wear??

Go for it - if anything it will become a lovely memory for you and your kids... or a family tradition!

If it was just your family I’d say go for it but as you have guests I’d say get dressed! Actually depends on who the guests are, if it’s close family then why not

I've never heard of anyone getting all dressed up in their best clothes for Christmas Day outside of MN.

Your home, your Christmas.
Enjoy!

As long as you buy the visitors a matching pair.

Won't your guests find it a bit uncomfortable? If I was invited to someone's house for Christmas lunch and when I turned up they were in pyjamas I'd assume they'd forgotten I was coming.

This... I'd be worried that either I was intruding, that they'd forgotten I was coming or to be honest, I'd probably want to check in on their mental health, incase they were really struggling.

The split on this thread is a good indicator. Your guests might think it's fine, they might worry.

I couldn't think of anything worse than spending Christmas Day (or any day, for that matter) just in my PJs. It's too much like convalescing for me. It's doesn't seem very respectful towards the guests you're inviting and if I turned up to Christmas dinner and the host was in their PJs I'd feel like I was intruding or an imposition.

Scribbly didnt think that actually required explaining but for you..Its obvious I meant that it's not every day you get to wake up and get ready back into your pjs for the entire day. Usually you know, you have work, school, weekend errands etc.

If your guests wear them too it's ok
If not but weird

Bit not but

If they are clean pjs put on in the morning why not? More like “loungewear” really, even though it’s an awful term.

Also make sure that they don’t show anything you or your husband wouldn’t normally want to show- I.e outline of penis, nipples poking through etc, bearing in mind you have guests!

I remember a thread on here once where a poster had gone to someone’s house for dinner and the hosts (a couple) were wearing PJs. It was extremely divisive as to whether it was acceptable.

Personally, I think you should be dressed if you’re having guests.

Having been lucky enough to have never had a period of convalescence, I love a PJ day.

We have only just started having Xmas at home (this year will be 3rd year) and past two have been very informal. Think leggings / joggers and a top, kids wore their Xmas jumpers.

The whole point of us being at home is because we wanted a low key, relaxing, homely Christmas day.... no-one wants the hassle of getting dressed up.

That said we would dress if we had guests and after many years of kindly being hosted, I'd feel weird about turning up and my hosts were in PJ's.

• guests who pop in unannounced will be subjected to us all in our full glory (looking at you BIL and SIL who decided to turn up the moment I'd served Xmas dinner last year as their 2yo wouldnt nap and they wanted to get out of the house with him!!)

If I was your guest, I'd want a message telling so I could wear or bring my pyjamas too. I love changing into my comfy, sloungy clothes, so much more relaxing.

Not unreasonable at all, you'll still be hosting the same, just wesring comfier clothes.

Depends who the guests are I think.

I go to my parents for Christmas and stay for 3 days - Christmas Day I stay in my matching Christmas pyjamas as does my mum and my daughter; but if anyone else were coming over I'd probably get dressed

Reading this, makes me wonder where we’re all going wrong in that our normal clothes are so uncomfortable
