93. Adult Christmas Costumes
from:Everyone enjoys dressing up-from the smallest child to the oldest adult there is something attractive about dressing up and wearing a special costume. There are as many different costumes to be had as there are festive occasions in the year. From Halloween to Midsummer’s night and from Easter to Christmas there are traditions associated with these holidays and people dress up for them. At Christmas for example it is traditional for men all over the world to dress up as Santa Claus. This aspect of Christmas celebrations means that there is a huge demand for adult Christmas costumes to meet that demand.
Adult Christmas costumes are not just meant for surprising the family-or for dads playing Santa Claus on Christmas Eve-adult Christmas costumes are big business. Every year the big stores in America and England and other countries in the world are in the market for lots of costumes. Stores are big buyers of adult Christmas costumes because almost all the bigger department stores employ somebody-in some cases a number of people, to act as Santa in their stores at Christmas time. Children love Santa Claus and whole families will make a special trip to the store just so that the youngest members can visit Santa and receive a small present. The families are happy and the stores are happy because these families will often stop and look around the store and may decide to purchase some Christmas presents there.
The bigger department stores have Christmas celebrations down to a fine art nowadays. Besides Santa Claus in his red and white suit many stores will also have Santa’s helpers and Santa’s elves. This means that the store has a need for more adult Christmas costumes. Elves are often dressed in green suits-they wear pointy hats and boots, sometimes with bells on them. These elves are there to help Santa, they may direct the children and their families to Santa’s grotto and ask the child their name before they go and sit with Santa.
In recent years there has been a lot of interest in Santa’s wife, Mrs Claus who may also have her own set of helpers. Mrs Claus would have a similar costume to her husband Santa Claus except that she would wear a skirt instead of the trousers that Santa wears. Mrs Claus is in charge of the elves and she directs operations in the background. Adult Christmas costumes come in different shapes and sizes and are used for different purposes. At Christmas time however the ones that are most in demand for adults are those that are related to Santa Claus and his friends and family.
