I don't know why I keep buying them...

    Pajamas. I love pajamas. I see them hanging in the stores, and they always look so comfy and cute. These days PJs are a lot more interesting than when I was a kid, and some stores have whole mix and match ranges, so instead of buying one set with a matching top and bottom, you can buy separates instead. Excellent way of getting us to spend more money.
  So I buy them. I see some that I like and I shell out the cost, and after I get them home, I wear them once. And then I go back to what I always sleep in: track pants and an old, soft Dallas Cowboys hoodie that The Mysterious N gave me about 8 years ago.
   The pajamas go in a drawer and stay there, neglected until some charity does a clothing drive, and then they get passed on. Every time I buy PJs I know this is going to happen, and yet, somehow I just can't help myself.

I'd live in my PJs if I could. My current faves are Elmo jammies :)

Sounds like you have a fetish for PJ's :-).

I'd forgotten how comfy and warm pyjamas are until I bought a pair earlier this year. Now I'm wearing them from the time I get home until I dress for work the next morning.

Maybe it's your destiny to provide quality pyjamas to the less fortunate? Just go with it!!

Toni, your Elmo PJs sound cute.
WS, I guess I could join some sort of Pajamas Anonymous support group but I rather like Oz's idea that I'm an accidental Pajama philanthropist.
River, excellent. I've never seen the need to stay dressed in regular 'day' clothes once I'm indoors either.

You'd be disappointed in me, no-ine. I'm a baggy t-shirt and knickers girl.

It's the dressing gown and uggs that make the ensemble in winter. Sometimes I'm in them before dinner is served!

Kath, I support you in whatever makes you comfortable.
