Christmas Costume Party?

[Mr. Griswold]

This year for our Christmas Party I was thinking of a Costume Theme. I was thinking all guests can dress up as their favorite Christmas movie characters for the party. We can award prizes etc. and I think that might make for a unique scene. What do you think? Has anyone done this before?

[chris]

I never have, but it sounds like a really cool idea.idea:

[Elvira]

I haven't done it either, but I think that would be alot of fun for sure.

[Smokyturtle]

This sounds like a really cool idea idea:

[Just Whisper]

I would go to that party for sure. Am I invited? If I start now I may get to WA by Dec. LOL If you do it take lots of pics. It sounds like a blast. I bet LOTS of people will dress like either The Christmas Story or A Christmas Carol. i would be Max, the Grinch's dog. I LOVE him.

[Papa Noel]

Thats a really neet Idea. I would go as the bumble, Bumbles bounce you know?LOL

[EnlightenedGrinch]

Sounds neat!
I'd go as Hermie, the Dentist/Elf!

[Sickie Ickie]

Snow Miser!

[theedwin]

I really like this idea, I may have to borrow it. Can't think who I would be at the moment, but it sounds like fun!

[Nephew Fred]

I think I still have my Nephew Fred costume......
"Hey, get your hands of my plum pudding ,kid."

[Wiggy]

That would be sooo cool! I would be Yukon Cornelius! He's always been one of my favorite characters.

[digbugsgirl]

That's a neat idea! I'd probably go as a nutcracker.

[Mr. Griswold]

Well I am so sold on making this party happen now! I dont know why but I didnt even think of all the Rudolph Charecters and I even look like Yukon Cornelias HAHAHAHA. I even figured my Halloween obsessed friends can wear a Reaper Costume and be the ghost of Christmas Future.

[Sickie Ickie]

Sounds perfect for both sides. :)

[EnlightenedGrinch]

That's a neat idea! I'd probably go as a nutcracker.

surprise: Count me out. Can't make it..........

[kimba]

This is an awesome idea!! I'd love to see pictures!!
I'd probably go as Mrs.Claus (not very original I'm afraid)

[Just Whisper]

Hey, none of us chose that, so you would be the only one at a forum party dressed as her. LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

I wonder how I would look as Mrs Claus?

[chris]

Mr Griswald sounds like its going to be a really cool christmas party. Yes we want to see pics after.:)

[EnlightenedGrinch]

I wonder how I would look as Mrs Claus?

You'd have to ask Santa about that!

[Sickie Ickie]

After how many drinks? LOL

[chris]

After how many drinks? LOL

LMAF thats funny:)

[EnlightenedGrinch]

Depends if he's got his "Nog Goggles" on or not.

[theedwin]

Nog Goggles, huh? I may have to "get" me a pair!! LOL

[Smokyturtle]

LoL you guys crack me up...

[EnlightenedGrinch]

Nog Goggles, huh? I may have to "get" me a pair!! LOL

LMAO!

Did you say "get" or "grow" ? Just Kidding... OUCH!!

[Sickie Ickie]

Nice punch, Edwin! LOL

[annea]

I need ideas for a costume for my 9 year old daughter, she is going to a party with a costume contest and i'm all out of creative thinking on this :(

[Sickie Ickie]

What theme for the costumes?

[annea]

Hi, the theme is christmas, she won the 1st prize last year as an angel so i need a new idea for this year.

[Sickie Ickie]

How ambitious are you? I could totally see her going as a tree with working lights. :)

[annea]

I would love to make a walking christmas tree costume ! But she is a girly girl and insists on something feminine. Just for future reference how would you make a tree costume with lights:)

[EnlightenedGrinch]

Just get this and add some battery powered lights.

[Smilodonna]

Mr. Griswold: great idea! I have a couple friends who went to a Christmas costume party a couple years ago (I think) and they loved it; a number of attendees stayed in character (I especially recall how impressed they were with a Grinch) and apparently that in itself was a hit. I'm afraid you have folks like me all too well figured out; I immediately though of using my upcoming reaper costume as the Ghost of Christmas Future:). Though now I think I'd try a monstrous version of the grinch based on a performer who used to recite the whole thing and pantomime it out at our local Christmas Stroll; I'd just take her mask-free, unique design and "creep it out" a little. If I was a guy I would probably consider the "scary Grinch" mask, though the price is a little scary in itself: http://www.brandsonsale.com/scary-grinch-costume-mask-014987.html.

Annea: Actually, I think a Christmas tree could work very well in a girly style. After all, trees are often glitzy and glamorous images of the holiday. I personally think EnlightenedGrinch's suggestion is adorable, but I'll offer another idea just for the heck of it. Maybe a cute pine-green dress, brown stockings, and a tiara/headband featuring a big, beautiful star that looks like a tree topper. The dress could be accented with all sorts of bobbles and really pretty ribbon, and maybe a tinsel-garland boa if she really likes to glam it up.

[markgbarba1987]

That's sounds nice.. Sounds fun too. With all the costumes and all. idea:

[navidadnm2010]

I'd come if I could, but I would come as my own Senora C.
However due to distance, time and finances, I would not be able to attend.

[Sickie Ickie]

...Maybe a cute pine-green dress, brown stockings, and a tiara/headband featuring a big, beautiful star that looks like a tree topper. The dress could be accented with all sorts of bobbles and really pretty ribbon, and maybe a tinsel-garland boa if she really likes to glam it up.

Oooooooooh I like that. :) A nice light up star on top, ornaments are also now made of metallic plastic so no fears about anything breaking, light up lights, TERRIFIC idea!

[Smilodonna]

blush:Thanks, Sickie! With battery-powered mini-light sets for wreaths and similarly-powered light-up ornaments in star shapes, the whole thing would be self contained. And those plastic ornaments have become spot-on imitators of their glass counterparts.

[annea]

Smilodonna its a lovely idea, might use it myself sometime! She watched "the snow queen" and wants to follow that idea; white dress with snowflakes and icicles, i'll make a tinsel crown and use irridescent white and blue make-up

[Sickie Ickie]

I'd love to see the costume when you are done!

[Just Whisper]

Me too. I bet she will look amazing.

[annea]

I'll post some photos, i would like to spray here hair glittery white but were going to church after, so maybe not!

[Sickie Ickie]

Go for it. I bet people at that church are Christians. :p

[chrisssteeven]

Hello friends

Actually I am so sold on making this party happen now! I dont know why but I didnt even think of all the Rudolph Charecters and I even look like Yukon Cornelias HAHAHAHA. I even figured my Halloween obsessed friends can wear a Reaper Costume and be the ghost of Christmas Future.

I am so exciting to celebrate this festival its my favorite one.
Have a good joy.

[Joe]

Great idea!!!!!!! I love costume parties, that’s a lot of fun!!! Interesting, do they have the costume of a Christmas tree))))))

[katshead42]

wow that's an awesome idea. Count me in lol

[halorene]

a girly girl could go as a pink ballerina from the nutcracker. she could even carry a nutcracker marienette. i would go as sally

[SantaAllen]

we may have to do this next year. Surprised no one said Ralph from the Christmas Story.

[Sickie Ickie]

I love the idea of Ralph!

[SantaAllen]

Yes, nothing funnier than a grown man in a pink bunny suit!

[SantaAllen]

So if I show up as Santa Claus, will everyone think that is too easy? Since Santa Claus is in more Christmas movies than any other character!

[Sickie Ickie]

Show up as Mrs. Claus and that may be more challenging to you Allen. LOL

[Quicina]

Good idea, i like it.
