Today's date has been marked on the calendar as "Pajama Day" for three weeks. Zeus was out of town so I had the entire day to retreat to my lair and sew, sew, sew. The serger and sewing machine were smoking hot all day.
Pajama Gang 2006
This pajama thing has been a holiday tradition for, oh, probably 10 years. Each year everyone who stays with us on Christmas Eve gets silly pj pants and a t-shirt.
Pajama Gang 2003
The pajamas are worn until they are threadbare. Last night I asked the Little Erises if they could tell me what their pajamas were for the last few years. Not only could they tell me theirs, but they also told Eris what hers were. That makes it worth all the work.
All that is left now is to press, wrap them in coordinating t-shirts and set them under the tree.
One more photo: This one was taken in 1959 (?). Mom made these matching nightgowns for us three girls. You probably can't see it but the pajamas that Little Ms. Eris is wearing in the 2002 photo are made from leftover scraps of these nightgowns. Now that is real stashbusting!

pssst. . . . remember to wash one of the shirts please.
So excited to see what we get this year!!!
Love the p.j.s every year!
PS - Not to be picky, but that is Little Ms. Eris in the top pic, so that was in 2002, not 2001.
You know those are your daughters, right?
Can you believe the abuse that I take?
What abuse? I'm just trying to be historically accurate - and Little Ms. was nowhere to be seen in 2001. I'm just saying.
And you know that D won't wear a shirt til it's washed. Honestly it creeps me out too!
Oh for hell sakes! The dates are changed and I will wash the shirts. Do I have to iron them, too?
Come on Muriel and Duchess!! Where are you when I need you?
Sure . . . call on your favorites for back-up!
Don't feel bad, this favorite didn't get invited for Christmas.:)
(Can we come on the 19th for a night? I will call you tomorrow)
Muriel, sure you can stay on the 19th. But I warn you, I'm not gonna dust again.
Oh please, do I look like the sort that cares about a little dust? You should see the pictures drawn on my TV screen.
