Are you always searching for an excuse to stay in your pj’s a little longer?? I am always ready to spend a few extra hours in my pajamas! And now we have an excuse with National Family PJ Day. I love having time to spend with my kids, as we all hang out in our pj’s talking about whatever I can get them to open up about.  Did you know National Family PJ Day was created by Soma back in 2019? Let’s celebrate this newer family national holiday with a little history of pajamas. And how you can truly embrace National PJ Day with your family!

National Family PJ Day: Let’s Celebrate!

The History of Pajamas

It is not completely known when pajamas became a prominent fixture in the world. Some people think it was back around 1870 when British colonials started wearing them to bed instead of the traditional nightshirt.

Pajamas became even more fashionable in the early 1900s. Ribbons and lace were added to pajamas at this time. Sophisticated pajamas were created in the 1920s. Pajamas have evolved even more since that time.

I mean, you know all the options we have now for pajamas. Compare that to the old nightshirt, and then let me know why celebrating National Family PJ Day is much more comfortable nowadays!

What to Do When Celebrating National Family PJ Day

There are so many things you can do with your family as you all rock your jammies. You can begin the day by preparing breakfast and eating together. Then read a book out loud or play a board game or two.

Add in watching movies, binge-watching Netflix, or enjoying a picnic lunch, and you have memories in the making.

One of my favorite things to do on our pajama days is plan exciting family vacations. I have taken multiple family vacations over the years. And I’m telling you, each one is better than the last! The memories I make with my family during these vacations are amazing. I truly cherish all these memories, and I look forward to the ones we will make together in the future.

I have traveled to Kenya, Norway, Alaska, and so many other destinations for our family vacations.
