Tis the day/night before Christmas and all round the house probably the last thing you are thinking

Adult Christmas Tree Outfit
about is what to costume to dress up as if you are going out – if indeed you are going in costume at all. We do find, from previous years, that Christmas Eve is the time when the youngsters go out wearing their Christmas outfits. The girls we have found, tend to like to wear a sexy Miss Christmas outfit or Elf costume, and the men may go out in a funnier costume, such as a Christmas Tree, or a traditional Father Christmas costume. Money can get a bit tight around Christmas buying everyone presents, so we offer a great range of cheap Christmas costumes including a 3 piece santa costume for just £7.65 and it even includes a beard!
In some cases you might be dressing up for a meal. In many parts of Eastern Europe, Christmas Eve sees families embarking on a supper of twelve meatless dishes denoting the twelve months of the year and the twelve apostles. In France and French-speaking parts of the world such as French-Canadian Quebec often hold a Réveillon, a feast of a luxurious nature designed to keep the participants ‘entertained’ until midnight and beyond. There are also traditions of special meals and foods in other parts of the world.
On the other hand you might be dressing up to go to a religious service or concert. Victorian costumes tend to be very popular at this time and help to create an olde feel to the event. Christmas Carols are an integral part of the Christmas season. Although many are based on early traditional tunes, they really did not catch-on until the late 19th century. The idea of having a carol concert on Christmas Eve (as an alternative to, or in addition to the Midnight Mass) was apparently started at Truro Cathedral in 1880, some say as an alternative entertainment to the lure of the ale-house. Similarly, despite its name, ‘Midnight Mass’ can to be held a hour or two before midnight these days, possibly for much the same reasons! Alternatively, you might just be going to a costume party, in which case we will be very happy to cater to your last minute needs. Happy Christmas from us all at Props n Frocks.
