What Are The Best Jolly Father Christmas and Mrs Claus Costumes

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.

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 Santa did not arrive and you did not waken 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 and hang the Christmas stockings on the end of the beds and put the presents under the tree, and luckily there is a huge range of Santa suits available to choose from in the stores and online. 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 Father Christmas costume is a long red velvet cape trimmed with snowy fur, with a hood drawn up over the head.

You can choose from a lot of different designs in Santa suits for men, and there is a Father Christmas outfit out there to fit all Dads! You can get 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 choose 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 find all of these accessories separately. So this Christmas Eve, even if one of your kids does wake up, your Santa suit will ensure that they believe that what they have really seen is Father Christmas leaving their gifts! A good thing to check is exactly what comes with your suit; check whether you need to get the beard, moustache, wig or hat separately.

Now we can’t leave the Moms out of this dressing up for 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 this Christmas? You can choose to dress 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 tight, short red velvet frock, long black boots, red velvet hat, all trimmed with lashings of soft, white fur. There are lots of Mrs Claus costumes to choose from, so let your imagination run riot this Christmas, as you channel your inner Mrs Claus!
