March 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #100: Playing Santa or Mrs. Claus

Tip of the Week

Having Santa visit a child at home is a truly special sight. Whether it is a favorite uncle, a cousin or even a Grandpa, someone dressed as Santa can leave wonderful memories with a child for a lifetime.

Of course, people can't dress up like Santa Claus or his wife, Mrs. Claus, without having a Santa Claus or Mrs. Claus outfit. You can rent one of these costumes, but if you plan on wearing it year after year, the most economical idea is to purchase your own Santa and Mrs. Claus outfit.

A Santa Claus outfit is also a great gift for the person playing Santa in your life. Santa suits must look realistic, because the person dressing up as Santa doesn't want to give anything away. Your Santa suit should have a realistic beard, and should have a realistic well-made velvet material for the suit. Mrs. Claus should also have the same. One such site that will offer you a realistic Santa suit is Bronners.com. This site has such real looking Santa costumes that the legendary John Wayne even ordered a Santa costume from them in the 1970's.

Giving a Santa suit to a loved one or even ordering one for yourself, is a great way to ensure that children in your family will have a memorable Christmas year after year. A Santa beard and hat will run about $68. Most items are sold in small groupings, such as a coat and pants, the hat and beard and gloves are separate. Be prepared to pay for your costume, but in the end, when a child's face lights up at Santa, it will be worth it!
