The Magic (and Mayhem) of Christmas Morning
Christmas morning is pure magic: the squeals of excitement, the smell of cinnamon rolls, the flurry of wrapping paper. But when it comes time to snap that perfect family photo, the chaos often shows. Mismatched outfits, bedhead, and cluttered backgrounds can turn a joyful moment into a photo you’d rather not post.
If you’ve ever looked back at your holiday photos and cringed, you’re not alone. But don’t worry, we’ve got easy, festive fixes that preserve your favorite Christmas morning traditions and make your holiday family photos shine.
1. 🎁 The Tradition: Opening Gifts in a Blur
The Problem: Everyone’s in random pajamas, and the living room looks like a wrapping paper explosion. The Fix: Set a 10-minute pause before the gift frenzy begins. Use that time to snap a few photos while everyone’s still fresh and the space is tidy.
Pro Tip: Outfit the whole crew in Matching Christmas PJs for a coordinated, cozy look that’s made for the camera.
2. 🍳 The Tradition: Christmas Breakfast in Chaos
The Problem: Greasy robes, flour-covered shirts, and sleepy eyes don’t exactly scream “holiday card material.” The Fix: Prep breakfast casseroles or cinnamon rolls the night before so you can enjoy the moment without the mess. And yes - wear those matching PJs while you do it.
Bonus: Our Matching Christmas PJs are soft, breathable, and stylish enough to wear from breakfast to brunch to nap time.
3. 📸 The Tradition: Last-Minute Photos
The Problem: You wait until the end of the day when everyone’s tired, cranky, and covered in gravy. The Fix: Make photos part of the tradition. Snap a few candid shots during gift opening, then gather everyone for a quick group photo before breakfast.
Tip: Use natural light near a window and set your phone on a timer. Add a festive backdrop or a decorated tree for instant holiday vibes. Here are tips for taking the best holiday photos.
4. 🎄 The Tradition: Anything Goes
The Problem: No plan = no photos worth keeping. The Fix: Create a simple Christmas morning routine: wake up, change into matching PJs, take a few photos, then dive into the fun. It keeps things relaxed but intentional.
Make the Moment (and the Memories) Last
You don’t have to give up your favorite traditions to get frame-worthy photos. With a little planning and the right outfit—like our best-selling Matching Christmas PJs—you can have both.
Because the best holiday memories aren’t just made… they’re captured.
