An Hour Ago He Was At The Office

Relax with Pajamas featuring Gray Reilly

Pajamas Banned at a UK Grocery Store

The Guardian newspaper is reporting that customers at a Welsh branch of Tesco grocery store are now banned from wearing pajamas. The Cardiff Tesco spokesperson explained that shoppers sporting pajamas were offensive to other shoppers.  Of course we at The Pajama Company love to see pajamas here, there and everywhere.  Just the other day we complimented a guy at a cafe wearing a great pajama pant with his fleece jacket and slip on shoes.  He told us he was a film producer who used to always wear suits but now lives and works in pajamas.  All we could say was...how wonderful and his happy face kind of said it all. 

Now what do you think about pajamas at the grocery store? Take our poll and share your views.

Our Favorite Pajamas Today

Today, it's all about pajamas.  It's about pajamas as the perfect present.  Opening a pajama gift is an absolute pleaser, spreading grins all around. And isn't that the fun of giving?  We recommend giving Dad that pair of footie pajamas that will bring out the kid in him on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.  And how about the same for Mom, a pair of footies will spread cheer all around.  Kids love to see Mom and Dad full of fun and footies do just that.  We also love our new fun flannel pajamas from PJ Salvage, Hatley Nature and Munki Munki.  Pajamas around the holidays are cozy and relaxing.  Here are our favorites today.

Christmas Traditions + Pajamas = Perfect

Here at The Pajama Company we love hearing sweet stories of family holiday traditions that include pajamas. This is the perfect year to create some new holiday traditions in pajamas. Here are some fun family activities which are just better in pajamas.

• Holiday baking.  Put on pajamas and make yummy cookies together.
• Have a Christmas Bedtime Story Night together in pajamas.
• Have a Christmas Movie Night with hot chocolate, cookies, popcorn and pajamas.
• Decorate the house together in pajamas.
• Decorate the tree in pajamas.
• Put pajamas on and jump in the car to look at Christmas lights in your town and neighborhood.
• Go caroling in Christmas pajamas.
• Put on family matching pajamas and do your own fashion "photo shoot".  Print out your favorite "model" shots.

We love American Idol winner Kris Allen's family tradition...Every year, Allen's mother gives he and his brother, Daniel, a new pair of pajamas and a board game, which they play — no matter how long it takes — before going to bed. He already knows what game he wants this year. "The new Monopoly with the big towers," Kris says, his eyes widening. "You can build cities. It's weird." 

Give The Gift of Christmas Pajamas....Early!

We know that for many families giving Pajamas is just part of Christmas.  Giving pajamas is a tradition.  For some it's Christmas Eve, for some it's Christmas morning.  We love the Christmas Eve pajamas because everyone can jump into bed in warm new pj's, all snugly, anticipating Christmas morning.  But are there other times, maybe sooner on the calender than Christmas Eve when Christmas pajamas might just be a wonderful and unexpected treat?  We think yes.  Remember the classic song from Mame, "We Need A Little Christmas...Right This Very Minute"!  Consider breaking tradition this year and surprise everyone with Christmas pajamas now or if you must wait consider some of these suggestions of when to give pajamas this year:  

• On Thanksgiving Day
• On the Day After Thanksgiving (considered to be the beginning of the Christmas Season)
• On the Day of the first Snow of Winter
• On the day you decorate the home for Christmas
• On the day you make those first Christmas Cookies
• On the day you wrap presents
• On the day you take the Christmas card photo (and make it a pajama photo!)
• 12 Days before Christmas
• On December the 1st
• On the day the Christmas Tree is Decorated
• On Saint Nicholas Day (usually December 6th)

The gift of pajamas for Christmas is a wonderful tradition for many.  Is it one for your family?  This is the perfect time to begin.  Kids love to see their parents and grandparents wearing pajamas.  It's just happy.

Back to Being Over Scheduled

A Saturday Guest Blogger -

My daughter writes a column in our town paper, and this week it was about being over scheduled.  She's a 16 year old and was finishing up the column at 11:30 PM one night after doing her homework.  She filed the story Sunday night, meeting her deadline and it was in the Thursday edition.  When Thursday rolled around she had a fever of 103 and off she went to the doctor.  She had type A flu, otherwise know as H1N1.  She seems to have caught a mild case, for which we are grateful.  She has spent the last few days now in bed in her pajamas.  At first, watching TV in her PJ's, getting us to respond to her ringing of the "sick bed bell", and having meals delivered was fun.  Now she is bored.  I think she is ready to re-engage with her over scheduled life!

Merchant Offers Free Turkeys to Shoppers in Pajamas

Of course we love this story.  The merchants of Ocean City, New Jersey are offering free turkeys to all customers who shop in pajamas for their downtown event "Earlier than the Bird" promotion 7am to 9am on Saturday November 21st. Shopping in pajamas will just be all around happy and we at The Pajama Company  wish the businesses and shoppers a great morning!
