On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave me to me...a totally easy and free advent calendar, the best Christmas movie ever made, quick gift card cozies, our Christmas tree, a sweet Christmas memory, the story behind the shoes, Mary's Lullaby, homemade Snicker bars, a gift for the pint-sized crafter, and a family Christmas tradition.
When the Sunbean was a baby, I started a family Christmas tradition. I make pajamas for the family, and then we open them either or Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. This certainly isn't a unique tradition, but it's fun to look back at pictures and see the pajamas I've made. Here's 2008 and 2009:
Here's hoping I actually keep up with the tradition and we have a fun collection of Christmas pajama pictures. I don't make them holiday-themed since we're opening them on Christmas. Otherwise we'd look like goons wearing Christmas trees and snowmen in March.
This year's are wrapped and under the tree, and they include a matching pair for Bitty Baby. It's not too late to bust out that sewing machine....

We've had a tradition similar to this since I was a kid. We always got to open new PJs on Christmas Eve. I've carried that tradition on and have an adorable matching set for the girls to open Friday night! Have a merry Christmas!!
Love it! We do the same thing. Hubby & I make the pants. Kids are all matching & then parents have different matching ones. The Christmas Elves leave them Christmas Eve as a surprise.
We do pajamas on Christmas Eve as well. I don't always make them. Usually they are different designs (not matching) to better reflect our different personalities. This year we're going with a Christmas theme. Yep, we'll be goons at Easter.
