Around this time nine years ago, Michael and I first met. It’s hard to believe we’ve spent every Christmas together since. Sometimes it feels like forever, simply because (as my dad puts it) it’s like he’s always been there. And sometimes, it feels like no time has passed at all and we’re still just two kids home for the holidays. There’s a lot of holiday traditions that you get to participate in when two families come together. But it’s making those traditions your own and making new traditions that make the season really special. One tradition that my family has is a pajama brunch. When Michael and I first got together, we’d respectively wear the pajamas that our families were wearing. But over the years, we’ve made it more our own with matching holiday pajamas. And this year, I think we’ve really peaked in the matching holiday pajamas department.

When Michael and I have matched in years past, it’s been a bit more eclectic. A matching t-shirt, maybe some matching pants and occasionally those two things together. Until now, we’ve never had what I’d consider to be “real” matching holiday pajamas. But this year, I was determined. Tartan is one of my favorite holiday prints, so I set out to find us matching tartan pj’s. Since we live in Florida, I also wanted to make sure these were pajamas we would actually be comfortable wearing, which meant finding shorts. (Do you know how hard it it’s to find shorts in men’s pajamas?) Ultimately I found them on Amazon. Thought even that I had to hunt through. But why stop at pj’s? We also picked up slippers from Target to complete the ensemble. When we arrived at brunch, we also matched with Michael’s sister, so the whole gang was decked out in tartan!
