Bad luck to still be wearing Christmas pjs?! in own home?

[Summertimesaddness]

I have some really comfy Christmas themed pajamas that I still want to wear at home. I've heard that wearing Christmas clothes after the Christmas period brings bad luck and I am just wondering if this is a well known thing or am I mistaken?!

Wear them. If the kettle breaks tomorrow, it was going to happen anyway. Stupid nonsense, but some people will cling to it vehemently

I didn't say I was worried, I did say this is a lighthearted thread.

Thank you for all the responses. I'm going cuddle my little boy whilst wearing my Christmas pjs now.

No OP, I have honestly never heard of this superstition. Leaving Christmas trimmings up after twelfth night is considered bad luck but not clothing.

There’s no such thing as Christmas clothes.

Of course it's not bad luck!
I'm wearing my white stuff Christmas socks from the advent calendar daily

Not true. I have Christmas pudding pants.

Never heard this. Ds3 wore a pair of Christmas socks to school this week.

I always stick to the Decs down by 12th night though (which is a superstition I have heard of).

Aye bad luck for the retailers if you're not a mug who pays for something then only puts it to its intented purpose for one night a year.

Jeeves doesn’t acknowledge their existence.
Seriously, though, they’re a very recent idea so the idea they are bad luck doesn’t have any authority.

Sounds like a very useful marketing tactic to make you think you "need" Hogmanay pajamas, and Valentines Day pajamas, and Good Friday pajamas, and Easter pajamas, and May Bank Holiday pajamas ...

I have a Coronation t-shirt that I bought last year from Next and am happy to wear that occasionally, though not if I go out :). Something else I would wear is a 2012 London Olympics t-shirt but can no longer get into it!

I live life on the edge & have been known to often keep my Christmas tree up til mid January. Once as a bet with friends I kept it up til they visited for our delayed Christmas night - in February

I'm still in one piece

I would wear them if I wanted to. Wear what's comfortable

Fairly certain you're supposed to take Christmas peejays outside and burn them on Twelfth Night, OP.

Surely if something is bad luck, that’s rooted in something ancient and dark. Something elemental. It can affect our fate, muck around with our destiny. Christmas pyjamas surely don’t qualify as they were only invented in the 90s.

Gawd there's no hope for me then. I've still got lights up the bannister and round a couple of windows. Cheers me up.

Also DH wears Christmas socks year round.
Anything that makes you happier OP and doesn't harm anyone else - just carry on.

I’m still using my Christmas thermal cup. It’s great, best cup I’ve had! No one seems to notice the merry Christmas on the side and I don’t believe anything like that is bad luck.

I hav Christmas socks on today!

Oh no OP, if you wear your Christmas pajamas later then 12 noon on Christmas Day then you have to wear them until next Christmas Eve. All the time. And keep an Elf in your handbag. Good luck.

Re- frame your mind. You’re not wearing them after Christmas, but before the next one !

I wear them all year, I have Elf sprawled across my chesticles as I write.

Im 58 . We didn't ever have special Christmas clothing. We had presents on Christmas day and turkey for lunch. The tree was bought on the Saturday after school term ended. That was it as far as Christmas went. No elf rubbish, no Christmas jumper day, no Christmas eve pjs and boxes. We didn't have new clothes to wear for Christmas day lunch. Christmas pjs are just clothes. Wearing/ not wearing a themed item of clothing has no power over anything ( other than warmth). It's not a superstition and no one has ever considered it to be.

So true.

I mean, that's proper nutso
