Like some other commenters, one thing I have LOVED continuing with the kids in my life is the Christmas Eve Pajamas. Every year we would go to a candlelight service at church on Christmas Eve, then we?d go home and open one gift each. The gift was always a new set of pajamas ? some years my mom made them herself but some she bought them from a super-comfy store. We?d all change into our new PJs and it was like the starting gun for Christmas. We would put on the PJs and beg to go to bed as soon as they were on, because by then we knew that the only thing between us and Christmas was sleep. Then we?d lounge around in our new comfy PJs all day on Christmas, and look cute in all the photos to boot.
Last year, I randomly stumbled onto pajamas in the telltale striped pattern I remembered from my childhood and I texted my mom and said, ?Hey, those awesome comfy PJs you?d always buy us? Were they from Hanna Andersson?? She was like ?YES!? so I bought some and now the tradition of ultra-comfy PJs on Christmas Eve lives on.
When I was really little I thought it was totally amazing that every year, the gift my parents picked out totally at random from the pile was the Christmas PJs. I thought that it was, like, proof that Christmas actually is magic after all ? that my parents could go and deliberate and painstakingly decide which present to have us open, and it would ALWAYS be the pajamas. Obviously they knew which gift was which, and chose the pajamas intentionally. I was not really the smartest child. But I may have been one of the happiest. ;)
