Why Dress Up as Santa Claus?
It is Christmas Eve and the house is shrouded in
darkness. Everyone is in bed, and even
the excited children have finally gone to sleep. The lights are twinkling softly on the
Christmas tree and the snow softly falls on the lawn outside the frosty
windows. Suddenly, there is a gentle
thump as two black-booted red velvet clad legs come down the chimney and land
in the fireplace. A large gentleman clad
in bright red velvet trimmed with white fur, with a huge white beard and
moustache and red velvet cap steps into your living room, carrying with him a
large sack filled with festively wrapped gifts. Santa Claus has arrived on his annual trip to
leave Christmas gifts for all the children who were nice rather than naughty
during the year. He arranges all the
presents under the Christmas tree, drinks the milk and eats the cookies left
out for him and takes the carrots up to the reindeer, off to the next house to
go through his same Christmas routine.

Choosing a Santa Suit
Now if in your house, you leave milk and cookies out for
Santa and try to lie awake to hear him landing on the roof with his reindeer. You
would be very upset if he did not arrive and you did not wake to find your
presents under the tree, now wouldn’t you? So just maybe you need to get a
Santa suit this Christmas just to make sure that nobody gets disappointed.
Usually in the household it is Dad who gets to dress up as Father Christmas, hanging
Christmas stockings on the end of the beds and putting presents under the tree,
so luckily there is a huge range of Santa suits available to choose from. The traditional Santa outfit is a red velvet
tunic edged with white fur, red velvet trousers kept up with braces, shiny
black boots, and a red velvet hat, worn with a curly white wig, beard and
moustache. A variation on this
traditional costume is a long red velvet cape trimmed with snowy fur, with a
hood drawn up over the head.
Santa Suits for Men
You can buy a lot of different designs in Santa suits for
adult males, so there is a Santa outfit out there to fit all Dads! You can buy Santa suits in red velvet, velour
and plush and there are costumes to fit all budgets. Don’t forget that traditionally Father
Christmas has a very large stomach, so make sure that if you are on the slender
side that you buy a suit with enough room to plump out your tunic with a
cushion! If you already have a Santa
suit but need to get a beard, wig, hat or boots, don’t worry as you can buy all
of these accessories separately. So this Christmas Eve, even if one of your
kids does wake up, your dress up will ensure they believe that what they have
really seen is Father Christmas leaving their gifts!

Christmas! Santa Claus is a married man,
and lives at the North Pole with Mrs Claus, the reindeer and the helper
elves. So why not dress up as Mrs Claus

up as a traditional Mrs Claus, with a long red dress, white apron and mob cap,
or you can get an altogether sexier Mrs Claus costume. A sexy Mrs Claus costume comprises of a
