Wait Costumes are for Christmas too!

Christmas costumes are fun too! We all had fun dressing up for Halloween, but did you ever think about Christmas costumes. Imagine your kids coming down on Christmas morning to see Santa, and Mrs. Clause standing by the Christmas tree. Would that be exciting? When you were a kid, would you have gotten a kick out of that?

Christmas Costumes could be a great new tradition to start, if they are not already a big part of your holiday celebration. Every year you and other members of your family just start dressing up, and poof, a new tradition is started. Christmas traditions create lasting joyous memories. Traditions also provide future generations with a guide line, that they can improve on. When you get married, you often have to combine two family traditions, and that creates new traditions.

Of course Christmas costumes are just one possibility of traditions to pass down to your offspring. One of great ones we had, was for the youngest of the family to place the toper on the Christmas tree, helped by the oldest of the family. One fond memory is when Grandpa (who could barley lift himself, let alone a two year old) knocked over the Christmas tree. After finding out every one was ok, it made for a hilarious moment caught on 8mm film ( thats a big clue as to may age). The point is, the whole family will for ever remember that moment in time. I continue this tradition on to this day, and I expect my children will do the same.. Hmmm.. I hope I never knock over the tree..

Just for fun one year, try passing out Santa hats, Reindeer hats with antlers, or some other funny looking Grinch stole Christmas stove hat, and watch the fun start. The kids and adults alike will have a great time. You have just spread Christmas joy that goes way beyond the gift giving. You have just created a togetherness that, in my opinion, is more in line with the true spirit of Christmas, that gifts under the tree just can't match.

Christmas costumes do not have to be expensive. Felt hats are very reasonable, look good, and can be packed up at the end of the day and saved for next year. You don't have to buy the velvet Santa suit, when a felt Santa will do just fine. Or, instead of the whole suit, you can go with just the Santa hat and beard and still have a lot of fun.

Can you imagine the fun you could have with kids baking Christmas cookies while dressed as Mrs. Clause? Or having a Santa and an Elf pass out the Christmas gifts? Man, thats a Christmas to remember. Not to mention the in-laws are really going to be impressed.

Just remember the fun we have dressing in costumes for Halloween doesn't have to end there, costumes are for Christmas too!

Fun Christmas Costumes

<h4>

Does your family wear Christmas Costumes? We all remember being kids. The excitement of Christmas. Starting just after Halloween, the stores start putting up the holiday decorations, the TV. starts advertising all the great new toys, and showing our favorite Christmas shows like Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, It's a Wonderful Life, just to name a few. Then our parents climb into our attics, and basements and start hauling out all the Christmas decorations. I'll never forget the frustration my Dad had going through the Christmas lights and replacing bulbs. Thank goodness technology has progressed to eliminate some of those problems. My parents always liked to get the Christmas spirit going by adding to those decorations each year.

No doubt about it, my parents went all out for Christmas. Some of our fondest memories deal with Christmas traditions. A lot of us have a Dad, or uncle, or other family member that would dress up like Santa and stop by and bring a big bag of toys for the kids. That was always a fun moment. We knew that was uncle Bob, but we didn't care, the excitement just filled us with joy. Everybody would wear funny little Christmas hats, and sing carols. Don't forget all the great food too. Such delicious fun.

Christmas costumes can really make some happy memories. Little elves, and Santa, reindeer hats, Mrs. Santa. Seeing the grownups dress up for the occasion built the excitement and made the experience of Christmas surpass the gift giving.

Christmas Costumes gave us the spirit of Christmas, which in my view is about being together, and not about putting presents under the Christmas tree. Christmas Costumes have become a tradition in many families. Just because they are fun, and set the atmosphere of joy, and happiness. If it's not part of your family tradition, you can always start one. Thats the great thing about traditions. They can be started by anyone at anytime. I think if you were to show up in a Christmas Costume, and pass out antler hats, Santa hats, and Elf hats, you just might kick start a new and fun tradition. My family had the tradition of wearing funny hats for the kids, and one relative dressed like Santa Clause, one dressed like Mrs. Clause, and having the holiday music playing in the background. Just like it was a tradition for the youngest of the family to put the star on top of the tree, assisted by the oldest member of the family. That tradition got a little hair raising when some of our oldest members were barley able to lift themselves, let alone a 2 year old. So, sometimes it involved more than the two family members to complete the task, but, that was a tradition that stuck.

Traditions like those instill a common thread of memory. It tells each generation what they need to do, and how to celebrate. So that each generation can have memories of a great Christmas together. Reminiscing about the year that Grandpa knocked over the Christmas tree while holding little Susan up to put the star on, will bring many laughs to each generation after that. Be the one to start a new tradition in your family with Christmas Costumes.

All I want for Christmas is Lingerie

<h4>Christmas lingerie is a gift for two. It is a gift for the one that wears it, and it's a gift for the one that gets to see the wearer. Weather it is a Christmas costume, or just some red sheer night shirt, wearing lingerie for Christmas is a great idea.

Mmmmm, just the thought of my lady wearing some sexy lingerie on Christmas morning send chills up my spine. It lets me know that I am about to receive the best Christmas present I could ever ask for ... her. I can just imagine her kneeling over me and softly kissing me awake on Christmas morning. As the sleep clears out of my eyes, I begin to focus on a beautiful woman wearing a sensual, erotic piece of lingerie. My heart begins to beat more rapidly as my eyes roam up and down this exotic sight. Oh, Santa has never been so good to me before.

Sexy lingerie for Christmas does not have to remain a fantasy. This is a dream that is easily made possible. Gents, all you have to do, is purchase a sexy piece of almost nothing lingerie, gift wrap it, and give it to her the night before Christmas. Let her do the rest. See what I mean when I say Sexy lingerie is a gift for two? You don't have to make that the ONLY gift you give her. Make sure you have given her something else she wanted too.

Sexy Lingerie is a gift that says “The best gift you can give me, is you.” That just screams love and passion. Can you really get any more special than that? What woman doesn't want to know that you love her, that she excites you, and that you find her sexy? Not to mention the gift you are likely to get in return. That beats a new tie, or golf club to dickins. I would much rather have my lady gift wrapped for me on Christmas morning.

Ladies, you don't have to wait on your fella to buy you some sexy lingerie, you can certainly do this on your own. Can you imagine his eyes popping out of his head when you wake him dressed like a sexy little elf, or Santa? Can you send a better Christmas message than “I want you”!

Hey, in my opinion, sexy lingerie makes the best gift wrapping under the tree. Wrap it up, I'll take it! All I want for Christmas is some sexy lingerie. Put my lady in a bustier, or a long sheer gown. Let her tease me for about an hour, and watch the passion ignite! No, it does not have to over revealing, I like a little mystery, and something to reveal along the way.

It does not matter if you are in a new relationship, old one, or one that just needs a spark. Lingerie for Christmas is the perfect gift. A gift for two that simply tells your significant other that you love them. That is why I say, all I want for Christmas is lingerie.

Sexy Santa is Coming Soon!!


Don't you just love Christmas? Decorating the Christmas tree, singing Christmas Carols, hanging lights, drinking eggnog, celebrating with loved ones, shopping for gifts, uh oh, ..... buying gifts. What do you get everyone? Better yet, what do you get that special guy or gal in your life?

Sometimes, choosing a gift for the one who is closest to us, is the hardest choice of all. We have a natural desire to make that gift the absolute most perfect gift of all time. We want that one special person in our life to ooze with delight with our choice. We want to see their eyes sparkle, their lips turn up in a smile as they unwrap their presents. We want them to know, without question, how much we love them, and that we took special time and effort in selecting their gift.
We want to pick they will always remember.

That's a lot of pressure to put ourselves under. Yet, every year we do it. We do it because we care. So, what do you get this special someone?

One creative idea, if you are a gal searching for that special gift, ia to give him the one thing he loves most..... yourself. That's right, you. You are the most important thing in his life. You are the object of his heart's desire. So, why not give him what he really wants?

Now you could just put a big bow on your head and stand next to the Christmas tree and say “Merry Christmas, Honey!” That is going to get his attention, but, a more imaginative wrapping will make this a holiday he'll remember for years. Something that adds to the sex appeal. Something that screams, “I am yours, and I want you.” Something that defines your love for him. What will do that?

Sexy lingerie, or a sexy Santa costume is sure to get his heart pounding. Imagine him when he sees you standing next to the Christmas tree, you wearing a slightly revealing, (leave a little mystery), outfit or costume. He instantly knows what he is getting for Christmas. As he looks at you, his eyes slowly soaking you in, you are bound to see the twinkle in his eyes. A smile will cross his face, and yours. You may have to unwrap your gift a little later.... Then again, maybe you are getting a better gift than you expected at the same time. After all, lingerie is the intimate gift for two.

That brings me to you guys out there. You could give your woman the traditional jewelry or a terry cloth robe. Either of those is better than a circular saw or a blender, (please tell me you never did that), but, how about giving her something that says, “You are the only thing I want in my life?” Picture her unwrapping this present. Her, opening the box and seeing a sheer gown, or a corset, or a bustier with a garter belt and hosiery. As she's holding it up, what do you think is going through her mind?

Wow, he loves me, he thinks I am sexy, and he wants me. He wants our Christmas together to be romantic and special. Do you think she will be thinking along those lines? You gift just said, “Honey whatever you got me is great, but, what I really want more than anything else is you”. Yep. Sexy lingerie is the intimate gift for two. Have I persuaded you to alter your gift list a little?

Come in and see our sexy Christmas lingerie

Sexy Lingerie Should be Shaped Like Avocados.

Let's face it most women do not have a perfect figure. They are just as sexy as any other woman, in their unique shapes. I'm not just referring to plus sized women only. Some women have large breast and narrow hips, some have wide hips and small breast, some have large middles, some are short and round, others are tall and slim, and some are in between. Woman come in a multitude of sizes and shapes. And so too, should sexy lingerie.

Lingerie should try and fit avocados. Because women are shaped very similar.
(see picture)


  1. Oblate avocato chart
  2. Spheroid
  3. High spheroid
  4. Ellipsoid
  5. Narrowly obovate
  6. Obovate
  7. Pyriform
  8. Clavate
  9. Rhomboidal
  10. Other

Can you find your shape? Maybe you are an upside down pyriform (7), or maybe you are shaped more like a banana?

All these shapes have their own sex appeal. Sexy Lingerie is supposed to accomplish one or more of the following; show it off, hide it, or, pretend you got it. This is a frustrating thing when it comes to lingerie sizing. Bra and Panty sets are very difficult to match to some womens unique shapes. If a woman is pyriform (7) or rhomboidal (9) shaped, then a large bottom may fit her, but the top is going to be too small.

Yet, how are lingerie makers supposed to match all these different sizes and shapes? One option, at least as far as bra and panty sets go, is to offer a mix and match set, i.e. allow them to choose the top size separate from the bottom.

Corset, bustiers, and gowns are a lot easier. If you are woman that has an avocado shape then maybe that is the way to go. Gowns will fit a multitude of shapes, and hide certain aspects of your figure you want to hide, while showing off others. Corsets and bustiers will conform your figure, and possibly give the impression you have more of something, than you actually do.

Womens shapes are such a smorgasbord that it is virtually impossible to match them all. So, the people that design and make lingerie are taking this into consideration and finding work arounds.
Knowing that, then it's not so much the size of the lingerie, as much as it is the type of lingerie you are picking.

Sexy lingerie styles are designed to help certain shapes. If you are oblate (1) shaped, then lingerie that shows the tummy is just a no no. Lingerie that hides the tummy, or shapes the tummy, is a definitive yes.

When you choose lingerie for yourself, or someone else, consider the body shape first. Find your work around. Then concentrate on the size, weather you are plus size, small size, or regular size.

Sexy lingerie can improve your sex appeal when used properly. Check back for more articles on how to choose lingerie.

Is Role Playing with Costumes Healthy?

If your lover dons a costume, and seduces you, it's like making love to a stranger. Is that adultery? Are these kinds of fantasies healthy? I have actually heard women say “I will not wear a costume, I don't want him thinking of someone else when he makes love to me”.

Ok, granted, if you are role playing, and you are pretending to be someone else, and the costume transforms your appearance enough, then maybe, I can see some reason for concern. After all, isn't your mate supposed to love you, and only you? If so, why does he or she need to pretend I am someone, other than, who I am? Hmm, in a perfect world... sure.

I have always said love and sex are like chocolate, and peanut-butter, both are good by themselves, but, when mixed together, they are at their best. You can have love without sex, and you can have sex without love. But, sex with someone you love is best.

The human animal is not always monogamous. Other animals throughout the animal kingdom are also known to be non-monogamous. In the book "The Myth of Monogamy" written by David Barash, a University of Washington zoologist and professor of psychology, and Judith Lipton, a Seattle psychiatrist, suggest that it is natural for us to “cheat” and that monogamy is something we have to work at. Barash said numerous recent studies have shown that many animals and birds, such as eagles, geese, beavers and gibbons, previously believed to be faithfully monogamous, aren't.

In fact, there are creatures that choose a single mate for life, even though they continue to mate or “fool around” with others. We assume that infidelity is most often committed by males. Male animals, like apes and lions, have harems. Mankind too, has had harems in it's past. Men having multiple lovers has been an acceptable practise among many cultures. However, studies of the wild kingdom have shown that most often it is the female that takes multiple mates. They just tend to be a little craftier at it. This is a survival method used by the female to insure that at least some of her offspring are from a quality male, while providing security for herself and her brood. We, as humans, do not need this tactic to insure our survival.

Barash and Lipton say that males tend to be opportunistic and have sex out of marriage because it is available and pleasurable. For women it is a way of obtaining something better than their mate, someone who may be richer, more handsome or more powerful.

It is not their purpose, nor mine, to condone infidelity. I think as humans we can overcome pure carnal animal behaviors. That said, I also don't condemn those that practise open or swinger lifestyles, it is being shown to be natural. I believe you and your mate have to make the decision of monogamy or not.

Yet, we still have natural tendencies to commit adultery. We have to work at a monogamous happy relationship. Just as we have to work at playing the guitar. Learning to play the guitar would take commitment, and practice. Some of us will learn, some will give it up. Monogamy is not natural, and requires effort to achieve. I believe that role playing with, or without costumes, help us do just that. Costumes, or lingerie, are just a way to enhance the experience. Let's face it, the human mind, if not the body, is still going to roam. We will fantasize about the girl or guy we met in an elevator, or work with. We will close our eyes and envision a past lover that was particularly good. We will make love to our mates and make believe they are our favorite movie star or rock star. Fantasy is normal. Our minds a capable of creating whole worlds for us to explore. We can't stop that.

Why not provide a release for our fantasies and natural tendency to “cheat”? Why not heighten the passion and sexual gratification, by fulfilling a portion of our lovers fantasies? If we make ourselves the center of those needs, desires, and fantasies, we are not providing a method to maintain monogamy?

If my lover were to dress up like a prostitute, and be seductive, play the role, so that I paid her for sex, and made passionate love to her. I could have a fantasy fulfilled. She too may have had a fantasy fulfilled at the same time. We no longer have a need to pursue that fantasy outside of our relationship.

Pretending to be someone else is fun. Pretending you are someone else, with someone you love, is exciting. Excitement is passion. Passionate sex, is great sex. Great sex, facilitates monogamy. If staying monogamous is your goal, then role playing with costumes can help facilitate that.

Some of you may think if you dress up in a costume and pretend to be someone else, then you are perpetuating the desire to cheat. I say, the desire to cheat is already there, even if it is subdued. Why not allow the desire to take place, and still be involved. Tell me you have never fantasized about sex with someone else. Tell me that you have a love life that can't use a little kick. Hey, I could be wrong.

I put forth that role playing with costumes perpetuates a healthy, active, and passionate sex life. If I am wrong, at least I'm having a heck of a good time.
