The Cutest Christmas Pajamas for the Kids

Growing up (and admittedly even still), one of the greatest joys of Christmas was always receiving new Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve to cozy up into as we awaited Santa's arrival. Tradition might as well be my family's middle name, so it came as no surprise each year that when we were allowed to open up just one present before the big day, new holiday PJ's somehow always awaited us. My sister and I would always rush to our bedrooms to try them on, don our Santa hats, and race to the car to make our annual family trip to deliver doughnuts to our local police and look at Christmas lights until we fell asleep. All of these sweet traditions are some that I can't wait to continue with my children someday, starting with the tradition of new Christmas pajamas.My mother was never really one to go the jokester route in picking out PJ's and happily left the elf costumes and matching onesies for the whole family to others. While every family is totally entitled to having a good laugh (and a viral Facebook photo) in their matching onesies, I have to applaud my own mom for her impeccable taste in PJ's that were both festive and classic (because everything's better when it's monogrammed, no?) There are so many adorable choices for kids' Christmas pajamas that we're already counting down the days until this Christmas Eve (and the one after that, and the one after that…). We love the idea of dressing siblings in matching Christmas pajamas, as well as coordinating jammies that are personalized for each child. (Those especially will make great keepsakes for years to come!) Check out our favorite mama-approved picks to dress the little elves of your own to the nines this holiday season.
