On Christmas Eve each family member falls asleep at various times, in various rooms, after opening various gifts, but all wearing exactly the same thing, matching Christmas pajama pants and sleep shirts. It's a tradition that started a few years back and each year the designs and sizes may change, but the message is still clear: we are in this together, and together we will meet Christmas morning over Milly's Egg Strata. The sizes vary greatly, from a child's size 8, on up to a man's size 1X, but the pants and shirts always match, and the joy of opening the packages, all at the same time, remains high.

Getting matching clothing in various sizes for various genders has always been a challenge. Old Navy provides the pajama pants each year, always purchased before the shirts to be sure the various pant sizes are available. No different this year, all pants were ordered on cyber-Monday, right when they went on sale, and all were ordered online, eliminating carrying packages, long lines, and having to stop for hot caramel sundaes on the way home. Though several sites offer men's sleep pants, Old Navy offers 100% cotton men's sleep pants in sizes small through 3X, and the selection of Christmas themed pants is impressive. Men's sleep pants are the choice here since girls will be able to wear men's sleep pants, but men won't be able to wear the smaller sized women's sleep wear. Having been pleased with the quality of Old Navy's sleep pants in Christmas's past, I knew where to go this year, and in future years as well.

Rushordertees.com provided the matching long sleeved 100% cotton tee shirts in a deep Christmasy red with a message stamped on each shirt, not to be disclosed until Christmas Eve. Rushordertees offered ease in ordering a product, allowing a photo or art work to be downloaded and placed on the shirts. A variety of sizes were available, from children's sizes all the way on up, ensuring each recipient has the same exact item, in the same exact color and exact fabric, only in the person's correct size. And rushordertees were true to their name; once the order was placed, the wording was approved, the proof was also approved, and the order was delivered in four days. Four days. It could have been sooner if I had wanted to pay for next day shipping -- I didn't, and I still received the finished product in four days. Impressive. Rushordertees is true to their name and provides quality goods and excellent customer service.

This Christmas Eve all those residing in this Christmas house will don matching sleep pants and shirts, and giggle as they see themselves coming and going. The matching pajamas remind each recipient of the love of family, the joy of being together, and the fun of Christmas all year round, as Christmas eve returns each time the pj's are worn.
