Xmas Eve pj's

[tamago23]

As a kid, we were always allowed to choose one small present to open on Xmas Eve. There was a limited selection of presents we could choose (usually one of three little presents), and I have fond memories of this tradition. Frolic, however, strongly disagrees with it and thinks that it detracts from Xmas morning if you've already gotten to open a

Aw, how cool to have spurred a new tradition at chez tamago23! That makes me smile.

My kids love this tradition, too. Plus--jammies!

I made my kids pj pants too! For both of them, I just took a pair of pants they already had that fit well, turned them inside out, then folded them in half so I could see the shape of the leg and crotch, then traced around it. I had the fabric for the pants doubled over twice, so I could cut out all of the pieces at once. I did trace over it a lot bigger though, to make sure the waist was big enough for elastic. Caleb's I don't think I made big enough though, oh well, we'll see!

I'm giving it to them on Xmas morning, so it looks like they have more presents (we had to cut back this year). :)

we do pjs plus a book

I heard about this tradition from a girlfriend a few years ago and thought it was so full of cute possibilities to make the eve of xmas perfect. Now, I've turned around to find that suddenly everybody is doing it and has been doing it forever!
