Of course this is cheesy and corny, but I love it. Try LL Bean and Land's End. Also try sleeyheads.com. My kids still get new pjs for xmas and the are 13, 15 and 16.

Even when my sister and I got older and entered our sullen teenage angst years, the pjs cut through all that. Now that I have a family of my own, we're definitely rocking the pjs. I found that it's pretty near impossible to get exact matches, so it's easier to get close- I went to Targer last year and was able to cobble together a coordinating set. I forget what the outdoorsy brand is there, but it had pretty similar flannels in mens and womens. For baby, I found a red footie that matched. Good luck and I hope your family gets as much enjoyment out of it as mine did.

My family didn't have a lot of money growing up and so my grandma made us each pajamas or a nightgown every year. It was the one present we were allowed to open on Xmas Eve. My mom said it was so we wouldn't look so scroungy in Xmas morning pictures. I still buy new pj's most years for Xmas for myself and my mom makes them for the grandkids who are under age 18 I think. I don't think they're as cool as the ones my grandma made, but when you're a kid you're just happy to have something new so no matter what they were cool (and sometimes had a matching stuffed animal.) I don't recall any of us having pj's that matched each other though...she took the time to make sure we each had something different. I think pj's and Xmas is a great tradition and if OP wants her family to have matching ones, then so be it. Good Luck OP! Maybe try Ebay, you may be able to get matching hanna's there.

I don't think I could ever have sex with my husband after seeing him in the matching x-mas PJs. You might as well just lop his balls off. When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of Awkward Family Photos too.

I think this idea could go very wrong, however, I think matching flannel pj bottoms could be really cute!

I love this idea! Then again, I lobby my husband and daughter to permit me to decorate the house immediately after Thanksgiving each year...

Can we say happy pills and a cocktail?

DH will wear baggy flannel pj bottoms and I like the big tops. DH will not wear a matched set and uses a long sleeve t shirt. So OP could get 1 men's and baggy leggings for herself and a shirt for DH. Then coordinate with baby.

I think this is the way we'll go...I don't see him wearing one of those button down pajama tops, but having the bottoms match the baby would be fun.

as for the snotty posters, such is life. First child. First Christmas. We'll probably try out a lot of different things over the next few years to see what might be fun traditions with our kids.
