Do you get dressed up on Christmas day?

[ochayethenoo]

My family always get scrubbed up on the big day. Suited and booted, best clobber on.
The past few years I've been going to my OH's family for christmas and am always really disappointed that they're just kicking about in there joggy bottoms.
Feel like it takes some of the magic away. does this make me a snob? My OH thinks so.
I should add that i would never let on to his folks that i'd rather we were all dressed up.

Go Fairhaired! Well done you! Definitely something sexy for you I think.

We dont majorly dress up but I aim to wear something nice. This year ive bought a nice tunic top with Leggings and my new knee high boots.

DD's have new xmas tops which they will wear with a little skirt and DH.. well it will be jeans but i'll insist he wears a smartish jumper at least!

fair-haired - congratulations on your brilliant weight loss.

Yes we get dressed up too. I usually wear a dress with some belly room :o. This year I am planning on wearing a velvet tunic from Toast, wolford opaques and shoe boots.

DH always dresses smart - no jeans, as do the DCs.

We dress up a tad!

Well done Fairhaired!

And no to the dressing up here. DN and I will be in our Christmas pyjamas until mid-morning probably. Then we might get dressed. Or we might not. I'm completely relaxed about it tbh.

rofl @ the special stretchy Christmas dresses

We dress up, I think it's nice to make an effort because it isn't a normal day.

some of us do, some of us don't in my family.
those of us with nice dresses will wear them and dh will try and find a clean fleece.

god yes, I too have never got past the 'christmas outfit' tradition. OH always buys a new 'christmas jumper' (not a gaudy patterned one just a new one :-D )

Yes we dress up, if wearing a paper hat counts

I hv bought a red jumper dress from nxt, green long slvd stripy top
To go underneath as dress has short sleeves
Chocolate diamond tites and will buy earrings
Don't hv many clths so nice 2 wear new ones
Hv bought both my girls a long slvd knitted dress each and new tites

I normally try to make more of an effort than normal but I'm never overly dressy as such. Just a nice day dress type thing.

If we did Christmas at home I'd imagine we'd probably not bother too much, but we're always either at my Mum's or my MIL's so we wear something nice (tops rather than t-shirts, although DD will be trying to out sparkle the Tree as usual)

DDs looooooove an excuse to wear a party dress, so they'll be all gussied up. I've bought a new top and black trousers, so that's me. DH wears whatever . ILs/parents wear new clothes but not necessarily dressy, IYSWIM.

I usually push my family to dress up a bit for the day because of the photos. I don't want to look back in years to come and say 'What on earth were you wearing....?'

Having said that though, we don't go ott on with sparkles or anything as the dog needs a walk and I would feel stupid wandering around my neighbourhood in eveningwear.

We once had a Christmas where everyone but me stayed in their (new Christmas)pyjamas and it was really horrible. I had made such an effort with the decor and they all looked shabby! They were never allowed to again!
