  • Pjs in the morning for unwrapping pressies (All new for everyone on Xmas Eve that the Elves leave for us), new smart comfy outfits for the kids ( jeans and a shirt/ jumper normally) jeans and shirt for OH and something comfy for me (normally nice jeans and a top) as I'm usually running round all day making sure everyone is happy LOL

    My family always tries to dress up semi-formally so I normally go for the high heels and dress combo, but not too dressed up!
  • Something comfy but still nice as we go to the pub for before dinner drinks and meet friends/family.
    Last year I wore a purple long top with jewels around the neckline and leggins. If I get something clothes wise/bag wise for Christmas I try to make an effort to wear it.
    It doesnt have to be something new on the day but I like something with a bit of sparkle, it is Christmas day after all!
    I'm getting Ugg boots for Christmas this year, so hopefully I will be walking down to the pub in them! Nice and cosy x :xmastree:

  • If we're staying at home we wear new PJs, lovely & comfy. If we're going out (normally to my mums or the in-laws) we all get dressed up in new, smart looking gear, its the only time my family see's me all dressed up unless one of them is babysitting, lol

  • I have bought i cute black dress from river island which i found in my local charity shop for £6.
    It has a lacy neckline and flares out in a soft jersey material so nice and cofy but smart.
    Hubby will be wearing jogging bottoms as usual.
  • We dress up for Christmas day - not prom dresses but smart dress / skirt and top outfit with heels (which doubles up with works night out), the men wear shirts & trousers.
    We do the PJ's all day thing on New Years Day in our house.
