Christmas PJ's

I think most people have a tradition of Christmas PJ's. I want to hear everyone's tradition of why they get new pajamas at Christmas and how it began.

Here is ours: When I was little, we could open one gift on Christmas Eve. My Grandma & Grandpa Cash always gave us pajamas for Christmas (which I eventually caught on to). I always wanted to open them on Christmas Eve so I could sleep in them and play in them all day the next day (we don't get dressed on Christmas). I also wanted to open 2 gifts Christmas Eve so that I could wear my PJ's & play with something cool. That was a no-go, so I stayed with the pj opening on the 24th.

When Kylie was born I began getting Christmas Jammies for her, TJay & I. I now get them every year for each member of our family (see this year's in the post below). This is the required gift to open on Christmas Eve. So we still open one gift, but no one but MOM chooses. It's not a suprise what the gift will be, just what it will look like. Every Christmas we get to wake up in new, snuggly jammies! The kids love it! They love getting new jammies & always remind me that I need to buy them new Christmas PJ's!

Comment and post your tradition! I think they're fun!
