NOT JUST FOR HALLOWEEN


Costumes aren't just for Halloween!

It always seems such a let down, suddenly Halloween is here and then gone. Our costumes get packed away. To remedy that, we dress up for Christmas every year as well!

Lets face it, we all love to dress-up for Halloween, so why let the fun end on November 1st. I own a top of the line Santa suit and my wife dresses as the Mrs.

This gives us a chance to enjoy dressing in costume and adding to the Christmas cheer of others as they watch Santa and Mrs. Claus hand out the presents on Christmas day!

We've also found they come in handy if we want to do charity events. We work with the fire department and local homeless shelters to give the kids a thrill at Christmas parties and events, handing out gifts or before Christmas to listen to the children's Christmas wish lists.

There are a lot of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus costumes and accessories available ranging from very basic to elegant, high-end apparel like those pictured above from Costume World. Of course, it depends on your price range as well but investing in a good costume can mean years of tradition and can be passed on later to your kids to use with their families.

You can also use this on Halloween, it would be a very unexpected costume. There are a few horror films out there that are Christmas themed and he could be an evil Santa if you throw some blood around the suit, spray some dirty gray and brown hair paint on the beard and suit, add a bag full of body parts and there you go! Of course, you would want to use the least expensive costume for this since you'd be ruining it with fake blood and colored hair spray.
