It's that time of year again: the most wonderful time of the year that quickly becomes the most stressful. There are gifts to wrap, cookies to bake, and yes, there are also matching Christmas PJs to buy. It would be easy to skip that last one, but you shouldn't — not only does it make for a fun holiday tradition, but you deserve a comfy new pair of PJs after the year we've all had!
But buying matching family Christmas PJs when everyone is a different age and and size can be a bit challenging. Here's everything you need to know about this fun Christmas tradition, and how easy it can be to take part in it without ever leaving the house.
Matching PJs for family: How this tradition got started
DIY pajamas for Christmas
Want to get a little crafty this year and make DIY pajamas? Yep, that's an option, too. You can go as far as sewing your own Christmas PJs from your favorite fabric, or buy a pair that already exists and add details (and personalization) via Cricut.
Another fun option: tie-dye. You can find step-by-step directions here, and all you'll need is a pair of white cotton PJs, Rit fabric dye, rubber gloves, rubberbands, and Ziploc bags. Older kids can definitely get involved in this one, making it a fun holiday craft for the family to do together.
Wearing matching PJs at Christmas is something you'll never regret — especially when you have the photos to look back on. Whether you make them yourself or buy them from a store, those memories will be precious.
