Family xmas pjs-Yay or nay?

[Downgetgetdowngetgetdowngetgetdown]

Dd, 5, adores The Grinch, I’ve seen a Grinch Pj set for Dh, me, Dd and the dog 🤷🏻‍♀️😂She’d love it, we’d be cheesy but cosy…total cost is €57…! I mean
Do you do xmas pjs?

We don’t do them. I’m sure my family would all be extremely eye rolly, but with a LO and willing DP and dog, you should!

As long as you will wear them out then it’s fine. Don’t wear them once then get rid, that would be bad.

Did them one year and it was all so forced and embarrassing. My 6ft 6 DH looked particularly ridiculous. I get the kids Christmas jammies but that's it. And they get passed down too.

Yay here! DCs love it, and I do too

No, not our thing at all. But don’t pay attention to anyone else, if you want to do it!

I so wish I could get my husband to to wear some, might still do me and DS though😁

@AngryBird6122 Wear them out..? I wouldn’t be wearing them out anywhere 😅

We did it for our first Christmas with our little one, that being said, they weren't particularly Christmassy, they were just nice plaid pj's. I'm preggers this year though so no matching pj's for us as I can't get my fat Christmas pud tummy into any of the matching sets! 🤣

@Devilsmommy I haven’t actually asked him yet…I’m thinking if we all do, how can he be the boring one and not participate 😂

We did last year, didn't get dressed all day at the kids' request. Wore them as normal pjs through winter. Just sold as a bundle on Vinted. Will do the same this year. Not really my thing but the kids love it.

Not exactly family matchy matchy photos for the ‘gram no, but I have bought DS and I some cute brushed cotton traditional tartan jammies from the same range this year. He’s only two so can’t complain at being forced to match his mother yet!

Your child will grow out of her pair while you, your dog and your DH can still wear yours. Will she mind? Would you still wear yours at Christmas if DD doesn't have matching ones?

I'm all for Christmas pyjamas personally, but matching ones are awkward when some family members have a lot of growing to do. I'd get her the Grinch ones for sure, and maybe the dog, but I'd get different fun ones for you and DH.

Ultimately though, you can do as you please! You'll get the use out of them either way.

@Downgetgetdowngetgetdowngetgetdown sorry I meant wear them through like you would normal pjs!

@idontlikealdi We’d definitely get wear out of them as I’d likely get them this week (just because we also need winter pjs) and we’d wear them all winter (well Dd and I def would)

@Downgetgetdowngetgetdowngetgetdown 😆 I'm thinking I should maybe just get him some, hide all of his other sleep wear and then casually leave his on the bed and give him a look that says all I need him to hear " put them on now"😁🤭

DS and DH don't like them but DD and I always get matching ones. In fact we're both wearing last years ones tonight. DD is almost 17 and has requested them again this year 😁 I may get them for the dog too this time!

We all get a new pair of pyjamas on Christmas Eve, but couldn't do all matching 😬

I don't usually go in for social media or marketing trends so no, I wouldn't do this. I did used to buy the kids new winter fleecy pyjamas for a few years and take the obligatory photos by the tree of the excited kiddes on Chrismtas Eve with the plate for Father Christmas and the carrot for Rudolph. But they weren't Christmas ones, just some nice fleecy tartan ones or something.

And let's be honest, they'd all end up going in the wash at different times anyway. One's nappy would leak, another would get breakfast down the front, a parent's may last a day or two longer before needs washing and then you're all out of synch. So I just think all those social media photos of everyone wearing matching PJs must be a bit staged really.

Not my kind of thing but you do you.

Good god no. Forced, contrived jollity

Christ no

Completely cringey, especially getting a dog involved. Fair enough you and the family will get wear out of them but the dog won’t so complete waste of money, especially if doing it for social media likes like some do

God no. Not our thing at all.

Do it!! This sounds adorable and sounds like it will make your DD happy.

Over my dead body.
