I usually have hand-me-downs or my mom buys something. But if I don't have either, I just skip if it's not a "major holiday."

For example, we had some halloween onesies in the right size from my cousin's kids (I did buy a costume, though) so E wore those, but we didn't have anything from anybody for Valentine's day so she didn't have a holiday outfit.

My mom bought her Christmas PJs and has an Easter dress on the way for her. Not sure she'll feel like doing that starting later this year when there's more than one of them, but for now she's having fun. (My mom is also awesome and always checks with me to make sure I like what she picks out, so that's a huge plus!)

My MIL bought a 4th of July and Halloween outfits for T. I'm not sure if it's because it was her first year. I'm not that into a really specific outfit for a holiday- more something in a seasonal fabric or color that can be worn over a few months so we don't really overlap.

Half and half probably, plus we had some hand me downs that worked size wise with C. But we are more likely to be gifted impractical dressy outfits that I use for holidays- like the fancy pink dress my sister got C for Christmas will be her Easter dress. Like @youboots: I'd rather get something in the right colors to be festive but that they can keep wearing.

But yeah I totally bought them matching st Patrick's day shirts already.

I think my mom will buy special occasion things where she would participate in the occasion too like Christmas, but not Valentine's. She bought her favorite nephew's first daughter a very fancy dress for her first birthday. Looking back on it I see how intrusive that was. She didn't even ask about the party theme or venue just picked what she thought a little girl should wear. Hopefully, she will run the outfit choice by me first or she may be in a for a shocker to see him something else.

My mom usually buys her seasonal pieces (i.e. Snowmen instead of Santa). I prefer to buy holiday outfits myself.

My mom has been buying DD many holiday outfits (but not all). I really don't care about holiday outfits if it is not a "major holiday" so if DD is not gifted one, we don't have any kind of special outfit.

With the exception of Christmas pajamas, we never buy holiday clothing, but if it's gifted we'll gladly take it!

Both. We go a little overboard and L always has a few outfits for each holiday. I intentionally didn't buy anything for St Patrick's day though, and mil gave her an outfit
