To hate the matching PJs trend

[Alysskea]

Every post on my social media and messages from friends has featured an entire family, usually of primarily grown adults, wearing matching Christmas pyjamas.

Where did this come from???? Why is it suddenly a thing??? Why do we all have to see the pictures?

If you hate it, don't do it, why do you care so much what other people do that doesn't affect you in the slightest!

We'd freak you out more, we wear our birthday suits to bed. Fortunately for everyone else, we don't 'do' social media!!

It’s a good thing it’s not the law that you have to wear them then, isn’t it?

It seem to be an American idea that’s become a thing over here.
I think it’s daft, but it gives a number of friends a great deal of pleasure to appear like a set of matryoshka dolls, so I smile and scroll on.

I can’t imagine caring enough about this to be annoyed. Maybe take some time off social media.

It is a weird trend, obviously each to their own but definitely a new social norm created entirely for an Insta/SM world same as the elf

As with every fucking dumb trend swirling around, it's American.

Flame me. I don't care. It's true.

YANBU

Yes it’s an American thing. YANBU I hate it too. So twee.

Yanbu. I roll my eyes but just scroll past.

I think it's hilarious.

Would do it myself but most entertained by those who are game to post.

Wouldn't

Don't do it then....maybe people hate some things that you do/post?

YABU. If it makes them happy who cares!

Why do we all have to see the pictures?

You don't have to - you choose to use Social Media. There's always going to be stuff others don't like, just scroll past and don't give it a second thought.

We wore matching PJs this year, we personally never posted any photos (or even took any) but that's just because we don't really post on SM. I can't imagine getting worked up about what others wear to bed

Where did this come from????

Shops realising they can sell new (overpriced) pyjamas every year to adults who would never normally buy pjs that would only be worn for a week or two, but will if their two year old is wearing the same thing.

Why do we all have toseethe pictures?

People can post what they like on their own social media even if you don't seem to think so!

I think its cheesy but I cant ever really see myself caring what others wear either..

I love pj's and I love Christmas so if I had a family to wear them with I'd be all over it.

But, it's just me, DH and the dog. Neither of whom wear them. So I just get Xmas pj's for one.

Time for a SM hiatus?

I do have matching pjs, only me and my daughter though, and I bought them because she was 3 and I knew it would make her incredibly happy to match with me, which it did. I don't post photos on social media though, that does go through me a bit. I wouldn't want a big family all matching, be a right pain to work out what belongs to who after the wash.

Every post?

We have matching pjs at Xmas, not Xmas themed (last year we had Top Gun ones) and we don’t post pics on social media. They’re still being worn. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, it's very American. Mum, Dad, kids, dog, cat, hamster, all dressed the same in front of the beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

Not my taste but each to their own I say.

Love to see little kids / siblings in matching mine would have when little but entire families, absolutely hate this !!!!!

It does seem wasteful. But then again I only ever get the DC new PJs on Christmas Eve, or if they have a sleepover to go to and none that properly fit. Now that DS is taller than me, I have the ones he has grown out of as my 'new' ones.

Isn't it a Kardashian thing? They all wear matching Christmas pj's and do a family photo.
