Do you get dressed up for Christmas day?

[TazzyDrunk]

Heard some families do this ,just wondering if you dress up

I won't be personally.

Jeans, t-shirt and jumper here. Reasonably smart ones though, and if I was bought any new ones as Christmas presents I will wear those to Christmas dinner (which we usually go out for to a local hotel 5 minutes walk up the road).

I'm not really a dressing up type. Comfort is my primary objective.

Yes I’ll shower and put on my (clean) lounge wear. I’m not an animal

Yep. New ensemble on its way. Nails being done on Monday. Hair getting done on Sunday.

No. I won't be getting dressed at all unless we go for a walk.

If we were going to someone else's house then yes, but given we are hosting, I'll be in a Christmas t shirt and jeggings!!

Christmas jumper and jeans or skirt.

We used to. Now it’s Christmas jumpers or something sparkly.

We used to do a full nativity- had about 20 costumes but the children are a bit older now.

Yes, sort of. Smartish clothes. Definitely not jeans or leggings or pyjamas. Always have done.

Yes, always. Nice dress, some makeup. DH then sees me and says gloomily, "Oh I suppose I have to dress up then...." I used to try and get my children to dress up to but have given up on that one.

It adds to the sense of occasion I think.

Yes as I think it is a special day so dressing up is mandatory. It means a dress I can wear flat shoes with or smart trousers and nice top.

I would never wear pjs during the day unless I am ill, grr, sounds awful.

Sometimes we do. We didn't last year as we didn't leave the house but we will this year as we have guests.

I always buy a new outfit for Christmas Day. Bought mine today and it’s so festive I can’t wait to wear it. Definitely on the fancier side - dress or skirt.

Yes, always.

Always! Even if it's just us!

Yes a little. Not something new but a red velvet dress and emerald jewellery that tends to only be worn around Christmas. We do drinks at friends after church and since they make the effort, so do we. Most people at Mass are a bit Christmassy whether that be dresses or Christmas jumpers.
We’ve about 17 sitting down to lunch, so I cannot imagine hosting in pyjamas. It’s a party of sorts.
It would feel a bit flat to be I. pyjamas all day watching television and lazing around on the sofa.

We dress as we would going for dinner or having guests for dinner so not ‘fancy pants’ but smart, make up, hair done etc

Obviously after the Buck’s Fizz and the wine and the negronis etc heels come off, no one cares but it’s nice to make an effort I think

Absolutely. Can’t imagine drinking champagne in my jim jams

I make an effort so will wear a nice dress or skirt as Christmas is special. When I was little I'd often have new clothes so would wear them. X

I usually make an effort. I find it relaxing to sit on my own and do my make up for half an hour. Plus I know there's gonna be pictures!

My family always dressed up growing up because of all the relatives coming round for lunch. Now I'm older I'd much rather be comfy, not pjs though.

Yes we always make a bit of an effort although I’m often in my finery and fluffy slippers!

Of course not. DH wears a suit for funerals - can't imagine him wearing one for xmas day?

When the DD's were small and we were more likely to visit, then they always had a new Christmas outfit. Now they're 11 and 15 and they have new clothes but they're fashionable clothes rather than festive ones.

DH and I look smartish but we're only going to MIL's and it's Australia so it's more sundress or shorts than velvet and heels.

BigBubbles did you really!?? All dressed up as Mary and Joseph, kings and everything!? That's amazing! Please tell me you weren't joking when you said that!
