Pajama Day at school sounds innocent… until it shows up in your shared inbox and quietly disappears before you can mentally prepare.

In this episode of This with Krish, I unpack why I absolutely cannot get behind Pajama Day — how I was raised, why pajamas belong at home, and why seeing my kid walk out the door dressed like they’re headed to a sleepover makes my soul uncomfortable.

It turns out this isn’t just a school issue — it’s a marriage issue. My wife thinks Pajama Day is adorable. I think it’s chaos in fleece form. So now she deletes the school emails to protect my blood pressure… which somehow makes Pajama Day even worse when it finally arrives.

This episode is a hilarious, honest, and painfully relatable breakdown of parenting disagreements, Spirit Week insanity, shared inbox sabotage, and the quiet compromises we make for our kids — even when it goes against everything we believe in.

If you’ve ever felt personally attacked by a school theme day, this one’s for you.

🎄 Today’s episode: Christmas gift-giving in 2025… and how kids have officially turned Christmas into a corporate procurement process. From Amazon wishlists longer than congressional bills, to color-specific gift demands, to buying gifts for nieces and nephews who send you hyperlinks instead of gratitude — this one is FUNNY, painfully true, and exactly what every parent is dealing with right now.

We’re talking: • The good old days of “you get what you get” • Kids negotiating wishlist items like attorneys • Amazon acting like a disappointed guidance counselor • Why buying for nieces & nephews has become completely impersonal • The seven-minute lifespan of “must-have” kids toys • And the REAL heart behind giving gifts to our children

If you’re a parent, an aunt or uncle, or just someone who has survived holiday shopping in the modern era… this episode will hit home — and crack you up.
