Mum says it’s ‘manky’ to stay in pyjamas for Christmas Day and sparks fierce debate
MANY families fall into two camps on Christmas Day - those who get dressed up and those who stay in pyjamas.
But a mum has come under fire for slamming people who stay in their festive PJs all day as being “manky”.
The mum : “Am I being unreasonable to think it's a bit manky to spend Xmas Day in your pyjamas?
“Are these the new PJs from Christmas Eve box that you've slept in all night or do you shower and put a fresh pair on?”
The woman particularly took offence to people who eat their Christmas dinner still wearing their nightwear.
She added: "It's not exactly a John Lewis tableau is it? Parents and children tucking into their turkey/nut roast in their manky nightwear.

"Have a shower and get dressed you lazy beggars!"
Her post clearly struck a chord with Christmas revellers, who were quick to either support her views or defend wearing PJs.
One person wrote: “My manky children stay in their pyjamas ever Christmas Day if we are not going out. They love it, little filthy beasts they are."
Another added: “How are they dirty? You've done nothing in them. Also I have been known to wear the same trousers two days in a row and I hate to think what you'd do if I told you how often I wash my bra!”
And one commented: “I wasn’t going to spend this Christmas in PJs but I’m tempted now.
“It’s comfy, hardly ‘dirty’ and if you’re staying at home.”
One person in defence of getting glammed up said: “Each to their own but I wouldn't.
“I get dressed up, do make up and hair then I'm ready to hit the kitchen, cooking my turkey in a party dress! Quite strange now I think about it really but I like to look nice on Christmas Day.”
