And how many of you buy new jammies for the kiddies to open on Christmas Eve?

Yes, we do, they are a gift from Mrs. Claus. Each year they come in the same box for each kid from the North Pole. Our neighbors ring the doorbell and leave the boxes usually while we are having dinner. It is still only "magical" for our youngest, but our older two enjoy the tradition.

Yup, this is one that we do!

My Mom has always done this for me and at 24 she still does. I love it because it is always nice to have a fresh pair of jammies for the winter. I pointed a fewout that I liked to her when we were at walmart the other day (cute disney ones and even a muppet show pair). I can't wait to see what I get.

Another tradition of ours.. Couldn't be taking photos of the kiddies in the morning wearing old jammies.. LOL..

This is our family tradition as well...going back 40 years when *I* was a little girl! I buy our kids new jammies every year now too. I think it's a lovely tradition.

Our children are 10 and 12 and we still buy new xmas jammies...the kids get them on and then we read Twas the Night Before Christams...it is a tradition. Before we read the book, we always write a small snippet about the year- My hubby and I began this for our first christmas and this year it will be our 14th entry into the book. This year we add our bulldog "Stompy" to the note...the memories from that book are wonderful.

I have already purchased matching pjs for DD3 and my 3 grandkids. They are all getting Disney plaid flannel jammies.

We still all get new pjs on Christmas Eve.....5 adults. And a book, either reading one or word one to keep us occupied that evening.
I will always keep the tradition and I think my kids will too.

Sort of...we buy new pj's to be worn christmas eve, but we give them to the kids early. They wear them when we got get their christmas pictures done. First they wear their nice clothes and then we do a photo in pj's. After that, we put them away until christmas eve.

My children are now DD 20 (tomorrow) and DS 22 and I STILL buy them new PJ's every Christimas to be opened Christmas Eve. I've found that these silly things are very important family traditions in my children's life now. So the answer is "YES"!

I have done this for the past 9 or so years BUT....... I make it look like Rudolph has delivered them!!!

The first year I did it I made hoof prints and made a card for Dd from Rudolph and made muddy hoof prints on the sidewalk, and another year I used kind of plain brown paper and rafia. One year I hung the package from a tree limb so it looked like it fell from the sky and got stuck in the tree!!
