Hey, I gotta give myself a break. I’m new at this mommy thing. I’m bound to make a few mistakes along the way. My current “whoops”?
Nora is without Christmas pajamas.
Today, I had something to return at Carter’s, so I figured that while I was there, I would finally check out the Christmas racks and pick up Nora a pair of cute Christmas jammies. I made the return, got the store credit, and went to check out the racks… only to find one rack. One very small rack. There was only one pair of cute Christmas pajamas left, and well, they were size 9 months.
I couldn’t believe that this was all that they had, so I wandered around the store for a few minutes, thinking I’d surely stumble upon the rest. After I had searched high and low for the red and green, I happened upon a store employee, so I asked, “Is that all of the Christmas stuff you have left? That little rack up front?” She said yes, that’s it. I responded, “What the heck? It’s not even Thanksgiving!” She told me that they usually sell most of their Christmas inventory in October. October.
I left Carter’s, feeling kind of defeated, but determined to find my girl some Christmas jammies.
So I hit up Kohl’s. Pathetic.
I hit up Walmart. Nothing. Not even anything that resembled Christmas pajamas in baby sizes.
I hit up Target. None of them were cute.
I checked Old Navy. They didn’t have any in her size.
:::sigh:::
This is what I get for respecting the turkey.

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.
Heather, I got the twins their Christmas jammies last week (maybe a two weeks ago) at Babies R Us. They had a lot of cute stuff there, try that. And don’t beat yourself up over it! Worse comes to worst, put her in a red footed onesie! She’ll never know ;)
I was just at Babies R Us with my girlfriend and there was a LARGE selection…she picked up a set of matching jammies for her girls…the bonus, they were on sale too!!!
Yep…Babies R Us has tons of stuff. The Wal Mart I work at still has a large selection too…..BUT that does you no good lol
If you have another Kohl’s near you, definitely check there – the Kohl’s by me is huge. I was there on Saturday and there were 3 racks of just Christmas outfits for newborns to toddlers.
How about Macy’s or JCPenny’s?
Good luck!!
Are you a member of Costco? They have some cute ones!
Also, if it makes you feel any better, I’ve been looking for a “My First Thanksgiving” shirt (or bib or onesie or anything!) for the last couple of weeks and haven’t found one. It’s very sad!
Wow, October! That’s sad. I have to take one holiday at a time. Once Thanksgiving is over I’m all about X-mas.
Don’t feel bad. Eric has never had X-mas pajamas, I’ve never even thought of it. Bigger whoops on my part.
::raises hand:: I also respect the turkey and have no Christmas jammies for Jane. It didn’t even occur to me yet. However, now that I think about it, the Christmas music playing in Carters weeks BEFORE Halloween was probably a good tip-off. Sigh.
we dont have christmas jammies! oh well!
Macy’s had a TON last week. Kind of $ but maybe on Friday?
TARGET TARGET TARGET TARGET TARGET!!!!
JcPenny has to have some. I bought mine at Carter’s last week so I can’t believe yours is sold out already!! But I would check out Penny’s. Especially online.
You can definitely still find something! Check all of those stores online shops – I just did a quick search for 3m xmas pjs on carters.com and got a few options!
Online shopping, mama! I love these:
