It is now a culture and a trend to seee families picture on Christmas day with them in pyjamas. The singles would express themselves thinking it is an excuse for tge married folks to flaunt relationships. The statement, ” God when? So I couldn’t help but think how did it all start?. I began to research in search of history.
Pyjamas became widespread during the 20th century. Before then people wore nightgown or sleep waer to bead but it was to be kept private. There was no need to flaunt the clothes you sleep with on social media. Later it became a thing to wear loose and comfortable clothes to bed so pyjamas came into the market. By the middle of the century, Christmas became an holiday celebrated in unison with one’s family. Christmas became more family cemtered and coordinated. Wearing matching pyjamas as a family became widespread as more emphasis was made on family bonding. It could be attributed with the concept of wanting comfort and creating family photos.
Social media has a massively improved the popularity of matching pyjamas. Celebrities wearing matching pyjamas with their family shaped the culture and influenced others to do the same. So more companies like a business institution they are Began to make more pyjamas that was Christmas themed. It then became this culture that was simple, cozy and fun and could be done on Christmas Eve. Pyjamas became elevated from a Private wear to a public symbol of the fun Christmas spirit.
Last year was a blast, but this year much better. Most families already made matching pyjamas a culture. They keep memories and stay comfy in their cute pyjamas. Families share an image of them building memories whist having fun. It gives off that opinion that Christmas is really a time to bond and make memories with family.

While some agree that the tradition is cute and somehow almost expected in most household. Others find it rather intimidating and talks about “Wetin singles go do like this”. Well I hope the history of pyjamas enlightens you to make tradition also with those you love and hold dear.
