When you have small children, wearing seasonal pajamas can be a fun bonding experience for the whole family. With holidays and birthdays, there are many occasions suitable for a new pair of pj's!

*Christmas Pajamas - Each Christmas Eve we let the children open one gift. The tradition is that the gift they open will be their flannel pajamas. Then we all put our pajamas on and go to bed, waiting for Santa to arrive. The next morning, there we are in all our sseasonal pajamas, matching and looking great in the Christmas photos.

*Valentine's Pajamas - It can be difficult to buy valentine's gifts for the little ones, but pajamas are always a great choice. Our valentine's pj's usually have playful hearts or cartoon characters who are in love. We also like to get our parents new robes for Valentine's day. They enjoy them from year to year. Of course, mom and dad need romantic time, too, so I get silk lingerie and he gets nice silk pajamas as a Valentine's gift.

*Birthday Pajamas - Each child gets a pair of birthday pajamas each year in addition to their regular present. These pajamas are unique to each child's likes and dislikes. For instance, our 3 year old is crazy about Sponge Bob, so she got footed Sponge Bob pajamas on her last birthday.
