"Children are getting a warm fuzzy feeling this holiday from Creating Space Yoga Studio and it’s not just from exercise, but pajamas.

Once again, Robyn Bowman, owner and director of the studio is hosting her studio’s annual Holiday Pajama Drive for the Halton Children’s Aid Foundation.

It’s on now and will continue to accept donations of new pjs until Saturday, Dec. 18.

This year, the effort is being joined by Grace Academy of Dance and Performing Arts so that studio will also be a drop-off location.

“Every Christmas Eve, there is a tradition in our home that each child can open one present before bedtime. That one present is always miraculously a brand new pair of cozy pj’s. My children love the excitement of putting on that new fuzzy pair of pj’s and hustling off to bed dreaming of Christmas morning. We wanted to extend our tradition to other children in our community who might not have the opportunity to feel the same warmth and security. This is how our Pajama Drive began,” explained Bowman in a press release.

Last year, Creating Space Yoga Studio extended the tradition to its yoga community and collected 65 pairs of new pajamas for the Halton Children’s Aid Foundation.

“They were thrilled when I dropped off the bags and bags of pj’s to the Foundation office. They began making preparations to deliver all the pajamas to the children in their care before the holidays. They were very excited and grateful to hear that we were doing it again this year,” said Bowman.

There has been a special request from the Foundation, too, for sizes appropriate for 10-18 year olds.

The studio will be accepting donations until Dec. 18.
