Ah you reminded me of our family Boxing Day tradition. The day after Christmas we would all sit around in our jammies or robes or whatever new gifty threads we received or our old threadbare tattered ones. Growing up we just spent Boxing Day not putting on our street clothes and spent the whole day at home enjoy the company of one another.
This year on 26/12 I have a therapy group to go to and I insisted that if I am to show up the day after Christmas I am not comprimising on my Boxing Day wear! I shall probably show up in my tartan knee length nightshirt and my fuzzy polartec robe and some clever slippers. Oh and of course the teddy bear.
Comfy is goooooooood.
Remind me to fly you down here to bargain shop with me sometime. You sound like you have the knack of a sale queen.

My theory is the men jammies find their way to there from well meaning relatives buying them as gifts for the guys. Then these men (in shock 'cause they sleep in the buff) pack off new jammies to the 2nd hand store where I buy them CHEAP!

Why's it there?) & tank top. I have a few good jammie bottoms without a jammie top. These are useful to go shopping in. A pair of earrings & maybe bracelet or necklace dress them up nicely. Trouble is, few have pockets for me to keep my licence, interact card, & keys in. I loathe purses & don't use them.
