Xmas day in PJs?

[Ultravox]

I read it on here quite a lot that people spend all of Xmas day in PJs. Each to their own and all that but I just can’t imagine it…I guess I could imagine it more if we got a takeaway for dinner but just can’t imagine cooking & eating a Xmas dinner in PJs! So am I in a minority? Is it normal?

Of course its normal!
People wear whatever they please.
Ill be wearing pjs ,it just a small family Christmas though and the pjs are silk with marabou trim (not for everyone but heigh ho)

I find the idea of being in invalid clothes weird and skin-itchingly incongruous on the most special day of the year. I wouldn’t go to any other special occasion (wedding, baptism) in “cosy clean PJ’’s” so why would I want to celebrate Christmas dressed like that. Yuck.

I'm not really a wearing PJs around the house person, but lots of other people are! Just because it's not your thing, doesn't make it unusual.

I don't think it's 'normal' as in what most people do, but it's not very unusual either, judging by these threads every year.

I had never heard of it pre MN, and do find it bizarre - where is the sparkle etc - but it is the rich tapestry of life innit.

I wouldn't do it, but to me 'pj's' means traditional style pyjamas that you slept in. Not sure why anyone woukd have a shower and put night clothes back on but each to their own I guess.

Even in care homes they get the residents in clothes. I'd only wear night clothes during the day if I was actually ill in bed but it seems people enjoy it.

You are giving it a lot of energy here PP..

Your post reads as a criticism op, being unable to imagine something you don't do but that others do. Fwiw, if it helps you to picture the scene, our plans just came to a halt a few hours ago. It's a beautiful day here, so we went for a walk. Just got back, it's just DH and me, and I've showered and put on a great pair of pyjamas. We're about to tuck in to the great lunch that DH made, and we're going to eat it on the sofa, whilst watching something festive, and I'll be curled up under one of my Nan's quilts.

I won’t be wearing the traditional ‘go to bed in’ pj’s. There are other types which feel special and glamorous.

It's just as normal as dressing up, or wearing normal clothes, or putting on jeans and a Christmas jumper.

We take the dog for a walk on Christmas morning so no PJ's here but I'll be wearing leggings and a jumper as comfort is more important to me than anything else.

I was thinking of wearing some dressier PJs tomorrow but I just can’t imagine cooking Christmas dinner in them so I decided against it.

Each to their own. Hubby and son will be in shorts and tshirts, I'll probably wear a pair of joggers and a tshirt. We go for comfort but I know people who get dressed up too.

😆😆😆

My mum used to make us get washed and dressed before we could even open our presents. I like to open presents in pjs now and get washed and put on my new socks afterwards while my son plays. I will start prepping food in my pjs though as I need to get some things on early.

Look at people's eyes not their genitals.

That does seem odd esp if you have guests! Even when I’m ill I get dressed in comfortable clothes (usually no bra though).

No
Actual clothes here- usually smarter than normal. A sparkly top, a smart shirt etc
Hair and make up done

I can't imagine wearing pyjamas in front of anyone other than my immediate family

I have never understood this desire to be in your pyjamas all day.

I think it’s fine. We are at home for Christmas with just one guest. I will wear PJ’s until I cook lunch, the dc (older teens) are welcome to wear there’s all day if they wish. Mine will go back on as soon as our guest has gone. I don’t wear PJ’s in bed, I only wear them around the house.

If I’m getting dressed I’m putting comfy clothes on like joggers, I can’t sit around the house in jeans or anything. My usual rule is if it doesn’t affect me then it’s none of my business.

I can’t imagine dressing in smarter clothes just to have a meal at home - might be different if you were going to a restaurant with a dress code.

I would feel seriously weird cooking and eating a roast, drinking booze, playing games and socialising with wider family while wearing pyjamas. Really uncomfortable! Also, I don't wear a bra when wearing pyjamas. If I'm not wearing a bra I really wouldn't want anyone to see me (36G). If I am wearing a bra, I might as well not be wearing pyjamas, that's what makes them comfy.

I think Christmas Day is almost the best day to do it and real cute if the whole family embraces it .
It's a do what you want day .

Depends if I'm going out or staying in

I just couldn't. But it's not hurting anyone, so each to their own. Only time I don't get dressed fairly soon after I'm up is if I'm ill. I feel the same when people are wearing them outside the house.
