And patiently waited for my turn.
Well, it happened. Not a cape. Not a tutu. But a kitty swim cap.
I think she wears it well.

As a kid, I always remember knowing that Christmas was within arms reach when I put on my new holiday pajamas on December 24th. I couldn’t meet Santa Claus in any old outfit. I had to dressed to the nines should I perchance run into Mr. C. while he was snacking on one of my sugar cookies.
With my own childhood memories in mind, I was determined to do a fun round up of holiday pajamas. But I must admit I came up rather empty handed at first. People, there isn’t that much in the way of sweet winter pajamas for boys. I found more than a half dozen pajamas littered with skulls (in pink as well as black) and tons of Disney characters and superheroes, but not too many that would make Kris Kringle smile.  Fortunately, Alix came to the rescue and found a few goodies that I’d love to share with you all and after a few hours I too found a few more. So here is our list of the best holiday pajamas out there!!
First Janie and Jack had some darling little outfits for boys and girls. This gingham nightgown has my heart. And these little man plaid pajamas look like something that would be worn by Bobby Draper on Mad Men.
This sweet little Mickey Mouse and Pluto pajamas hearken back to a sweet innocent Disney era that just makes me so happy.
Garnet Hill has a wonderful selection of beautiful winter wonderland pajamas that look like are perfect for unwrapping presents in.
Aren’t these stripey boys pajamas the best? Even theGrinch would have to smile when he saw these!
Of course the grand dame of night gowns, Lanz would have a good set of pajamas. So sweet and plaid and ruffly!
Hanna Anderson always does right by holiday pajamas and this year doesn’t disappoint. For boys and girls!
You can also go for the embroidered pajamas–Pottery Barn has a wonderful selection of pajamas for the kiddos with their names on–which means hand-me-down are out, but that super special feeling of having your own pajamas with your name on them is certainly in!
But really, why should all of the kids have fun? The Company Store has outfits for all!
So, did you do the new pajamas for Christmas and do you plan on doing the same for your kiddos?
Every year Greg and I debate….real tree or vintage aluminum tree?? When Wolfie was a baby, we put up the aluminum tree. It rotates slowly and has a color wheel that gives the tree a lovely shimmer. I gotta say, it’s pretty fab. We thought Wolfie would be transfixed and indeed he was. (Hee….look how little he was back then.)
If I’m being honest, I think nothing beats a fresh, beautiful REAL christmas tree—the crisp bracing smell of pine is one of my all-time favorites. At the same time, there is something pretty magical (*hi jenny!*) about a sparkling, silvery tree!

I love this couple below….as if the aluminim silver tree weren’t enough—they tinseled this bad boy within an inch of its life. Aw yeah!
In addition to silvery trees, my other favorite vintage holiday treats are those sweet little Christmas pixies. Some have an innocent, almost wistful look while others have an impish playfulness about them. You can call them knee-huggers (like the little guy below), pixie or holiday elves. Either way, I love ’em all!

I love when the pixies play musical instruments. Just kinda takes it up a notch, ya know?? These guys are all so so sooooo cute, with their little button black eyes.
And before I go, I just had to share this one other Christmas favorite—these little holiday Dream Pets. I think they’re just so charming and sweet with their little velveteen bodies! I have several little reindeer, a mouse, a Christmas Daschhund…they look so cute next to a bowl of pinecones.

That’s it for now….the count down is officially ON! We’re heading to Michigan in a week to visit my parents at their lake house. From what I hear there is a crazy blizzard happening up there so I guess we’ll be having a white Christmas after all. I can’t wait! Now to just try and lick this dang cold I’ve had for the past 2 1/2 weeks. Argh! But I’m so excited to get away. I realized that I haven’t had a week off since LAST CHRISTMAS. I think it’s high time. We plan on sledding, seeing boat loads of movies and just straight up relaxing. How about you guys? Are you stickin’ around or visiting relatives? I can’t wait to trade holiday stories with you! Ooh, and don’t forget to download my special retro holiday music mixes. Get ’em here.
I just had to share this little quickie with you. My friend Denise has one of the best vintage collections around. She also owns one of my top favorite vintage pieces EVER. Take a gander at this gorgeous holiday tree, made entirely out of vintage rhinestone brooches and earrings. Ahhhhh! It’s so sparkly and cool I can’t even stand it. Denise found it at the flea market and displays it year round. My kinda gal! I would looooooooooove something like this hanging over my mantle during the holidays.
Well, we are getting pretty darn close to that cut off shipping date, and we only have one more weekend to Mr. Claus hops in that sled. We’ve been very busy at Modern Kiddo with more fun stuff coming your way this week and next, so please come on back daily for your dose of candy cane holiday sweetness! Yay!
