If you’re doing the whole “sleep” thing right — you’re getting a good eight hours of shut-eye every night. So, who wants to be the victim of bad fashion for one-third of every day? (You’re guilty as charged if you wear a ratty lumberjack plaid nightgown to bed). And, OK, you may be able to get away with that holy T-shirt most nights because it’s just that comfortable.

But consider this your warning: Christmas morning is coming. The cameras will be out. Grandma just learned how to post a photo straight to Facebook.

It’s time to invest in a cute pair of PJ’s to distract from that awesome bedhead you’ll be rocking. Miraculously, your kids rise and shine and tear through the house as early at 5 a.m. Christmas morning, leaving you little time to get ready.

Here’s some pajama options to cozy up to this winter. Just add a bun and coffee. We found a great selection at Old Navy, where you’ll earn 4 percent Cash Back on your purchase.

Polka dots: Navy blue peplum polka dots on this pajama top and pants. Cotton will carry you through all seasons.

Fair isle: One of our favorite prints of the season. Pair a soft pajama shirt with these cozy fleece fair isle pants. Wear them as lounge pants around the house on the weekends, too. Find them in plaid or animal print, also.

Snowflake shorts: Get too warm under the covers at night? Give a pair of flannel boxers a try. How adorable are these $5 snowflake shorts with a thermal shirt and cozy socks?

Shopping for the whole family? Make it a tradition to gift new PJ’s or slippers on Christmas Eve before setting out cookies and milk for Santa.

These suede moccasin slippers with faux sherpa are handsome and come in plaid or solid colors. For the kids, you’ll find patterned PJ sets — like this pink polka dot set for girls — and these kitschy Christmas tree pajama pants for boys.
