When the Hanna Andersson catalog arrives, I know it's that time of year — when moms and dads dust the mothballs off their holiday sweaters and outfit the kids for the annual family portrait. While a complementary color palette makes for an aesthetically-pleasing picture, are these matching pajamas taking the concept a bit too far?

I got my Hanna Andersson catalog the other day, and my husband & I were ROLLING on the floor laughing at this picture (and the others like it) - who does this??? Ugh. But then again, I can't stand the traditional Christmas sweater either. This is definitely not for me.

I couldn't even do something like this for the family picture. We're going to get a family pic done soon and I think we'll probably coordinate, but never match! I'm even thinking of having each of us wear different bright colors and not matching at all.

I just started getting the Hanna Andersen catalog. I think it's creepy, but we like to thumb through and laugh at it.

I also think matching outfits for children and parents is lame but, I know my 4 year old son would love it if he and I were wearing matching pj's (there is no way in hell my husband would wear those).

My brother and I always had matching pajamas for Christmas. I've even had the matching mom and daughter dresses. I don't have a problem with it and I think it's fun and cute. Christmas is a family holiday, it's not like you're going to wear matching clothes every day.

I would never do that. I don't even like to put my girls (who are 2 years apart) in matching outfits. Coordinating, yes; exact matches, no.

I love matching outfits. They always get matching pjs for Christmas. My girls are so far apart in age it's getting harder and harder to do

I did photograpy for awhile and one of my favorite pics was a family that all had on plain white t shirts and jeans, the kids had jean over-alls and tshirts. I did them barefoot and had some made in black and white. I still have a few in my portfolio

When I was a kid my mom totally dressed my sister in I in matching outfits. I don't remember being bothered by it — or even noticing — but the result is a collection of the dorkiest family photos ever. I say it's an "are you kidding?" move.

Kids matching=yes Coordinating outfits for a family pictures is a good thing. Really unifies the picture.

Ha! Hanna Andersson! I forgot about those days. As a kid, I always wanted to match but my parents weren't into it. In retrospect, I'm thankful they had good taste and nixed the idea.

my mil got my daughters and i matching pj's a couple of years ago, red w/snowmen on them (my twinn stuff). it was allright for us. my girls really liked it but they were 6,5 and 3 then. not sure that would fly anymore, lol. my dh would never go for this type of thing and i'm fine with that, lol.

I like coordinating the outfits so that you don't look completely mismatched - but matching clothes creeps me out!
|

this is just weird.

my grandma always, always, always sent my sister and me matching pj's in different colors every year for christmas. i think she was always purple and i was always pink. maybe that's why i can't stand pink now. i like getting pj's but not the same as my sister and definitely not pink.

It embarasses me just to look at the picture!
|

thats definitly not for me. I cant even stand seeing twins in matching outfits.

I like this idea. I've been on the lookout for matching t-shirts for my son and parter, tho i know my partner wont ever have a bar of it. Uniformity within a family shows children that we're a unit, a team and I'm a strong believer that a family that plays together, stays together. Of course, PJ's is as far as it goes.

i'd do this for a christmas photo just for the laugh.

Ha! A friend and I were just talking about whether matching kiddy clothes to Mommy was creepy or not. It just weirds me out for the most part. Also, I can't think of any grown man who would want to wear those PJs!
