Clothes for Christmas morning in nightwear
Short answer: Christmas morning in nightwear is one of the calm moments of the year, with coffee, presents and decorations. Choose soft nightwear that keeps you warm in a cool house and that you feel good in when visitors arrive.
The calm of Christmas morning
Many people have a tradition of staying in nightwear for a while on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. It is a day without hurry, when time stretches out. Your nightwear should be soft and warm so you feel good in it for several hours. Choose a set you can sit and walk around in while you drink coffee and open presents. See bamboo night pants for women if you want trousers that are comfortable and nice enough for a festive morning.
Warm layers for cold mornings
In winter the house can be cool in the morning before the heating has taken hold. Put a cardigan or a thick jumper over your nightwear and wear warm socks or slippers. See women's bamboo pajama shirt if you want a top that looks a little festive. A blanket on the sofa is nice too when you sit and unwrap. Layers let you adjust when the fire is lit.
When visitors arrive
Christmas morning can bring unexpected visitors, or you may have guests who stayed overnight. Keep a dressing gown or a long cardigan handy so you can put it on if someone rings the bell. A nightwear set in a calm colour looks neater than something very thin. See bamboo sleepwear for women. Remember that you can change later if you want something smarter for dinner.
Decorations and small traditions
Christmas is full of small traditions, such as having a particular set of nightwear for Christmas morning. Many buy a new set every year, and others always wear the same. It is not necessary, but it can make the morning special. Light candles, put on Christmas music and make something warm to drink. It is the small things that create atmosphere. Keep it simple and let the morning take the time it needs.
Change into daywear when you are ready
When the morning has passed and it is time for the day's programme, you can change. It gives a clear transition from calm morning to busier day. Take a shower, put on something clean and nice, and have the new clothes ready from the evening before. If you are going out, add an extra layer, as the days are short and cold. Remember to put the used nightwear in the wash so it is ready next time.
Caring for winter nightwear
Nightwear worn for many hours at a time should be washed regularly. Wash viscose from bamboo at 30 to 40 degrees with a mild detergent and skip fabric softener, which can make the fabric less breathable. Let it dry flat or on a hanger and avoid high heat in the tumble dryer. Air it between wears. Keep two sets so you always have something clean in the busy days of Christmas. With simple care the nightwear stays soft and neat.
