Have You Ever Dressed Up As Father Christmas?

[AB Editor]

I thought you might like to share your experiences. Did you stuff? Beard wearing tips (or maybe you used your own)? Did you practice your "ho ho ho" or did you wing it?

I have no children of my own so the opportunity hasn't arisen yet... but I'm quite looking forward to eating all the pies so I would fit the part.

Have you Ed? com'on don't be shy do tell. (was it in June or something?)

[what..the?]

I've always wanted to do it but being a lady it wouldn't really work, shame, I love the character.....I mean 'person' children :O

done a slightly dodgy mother christmas in the past....short fur trimmed dress, stockings suspenders and red stilletoes.... will that do

[albaqwerty]

Why oh why ask this before Hallowe'en???

Keep this thread away from Lottie please.

No, I haven't but have done a full blown witch thing for Hallowe'en.

Witch is fun.... be it glam or hag... I think I just like dressing up too much

A lady I know dressed up as Mother Xmas one year for the Sunday school Xmas party. She was brilliant & even her own 3 grandchildren didnt recognise her.

I once bought a lady santa costume. On christmas day I sauntered down the stairs in it (to cook dinner) singing Santa Baby - my partner & the kids just looked at me like I was an idiot. Stuff them, I've not done it since - I was only getting into the spirit of things, I think I ended up downing the spirits instead!

[rowanwitch]

any excuse.... now where did i leave the red satin and white fur basque...?

My Dad dressed as Santa a couple of times at the school my sisters kids go to. Although the older one caught on, she kept quiet about it and younger two were amazed that Father Christmas really knew their names, what they had been up to and what they wanted for Christmas. It was so sweet to see them really believe in all the magic.

yeah, I did 2 years ago for Secret Santa in the office, I was more like Father Christmas on the Atkins diet! I couldn't 'ho,ho, ho' properly because I couldn't stop laughing! Last year I let one of my more portly colleagues be Father Christmas and I dressed as Rudolph!

oh and I will be again mid December for the Liverpool Santa Sash, there'll be thousands of us, it's ace!!

You strike me more of a rudolph Paul :)

Yes, me and a couple of mates went out dressed a Elvis Santas one Christmas eve, had a great night, one of the best in fact! We had on santa suits, Elvis wigs, hairy chest wigs, a medallion, shades and big cheap fake gold rings. Wish I had some pictures.
