You know if you do the new pj's for xmas eve thing?

[lucysmam]

& your fella doesn't do pj's at all?

Wwyd?

I bought myself and dd some last year but now there are 4 of us & it seems a bit odd not to buy him any when myself & our dd's will all be getting some. Even though it'll be a waste of time buying them, it seems a tad mean to me that we all get something nice & snuggly for xmas eve while he doesn't.

Any thoughts?

My dh has "slobs" i.e if he gets changed he wears a pair of tracksuit bottoms or shorts. And normally a fleece / polo shirt.

As my dh wears stuff till it rots I make a point of buying a new fleece top, or a new pair of bottoms each xmas.

Yep - bath, new PJ's wrapped on the bottom of the bed (arrive while kids are in the bath (bells included!)), stocking hanging, drinks & snacks for Santa & Rudolph, read 'Twas the night before Christmas' by the light of the Christmas Tree Lights then into bed...

Then a relaxing evening drinking mulled wine and watching a Christmas film...

Well - that's the fantasy, part 1 is fine, but part 2 usually has to go by the wayside due to the chaos of getting the last of the presents wrapped - shouting that Santa will not come if you don't go to sleep!! and getting stuff ready for Christmas Day!! It will be different this year.

LadyCad - why dis other peoples traditions that aren't hurting you? Anyway, why is it silly?
