What Is Pajama Day?
By Brenda B. Covert 		  
1     Hear the word pajamas, and you think of bedtime, not school. Pajamas (also called pj's or jammies) are for sleeping. They are so comfortable that some people lounge around the house in them; others wear them to town! Some teachers have "Pajama Days" for special rewards. Some schools even designate a "Pajama Day" for Spirit Week!
 
2     The dictionary defines pajamas as "a loose, usually two-piece lightweight suit designed especially for sleeping." This means a loose fitting pant and top. However, we think of pajamas in broader terms. For instance, pajamas may not come as a set of two items of clothing. One-piece footie pajamas are popular for babies; children and even adults can wear footie pj's (though most would not wear them to school on Pajama Day).
