30. Ideas for Children’s Christmas Costumes
from:Christmas is a time of festivities. It is a time when families gather together to eat and celebrate with each other. This means that preparations for Christmas can mean a lot of hard work-even when the family pitches in to help. There is shopping for Christmas presents, then choosing the tree and the decorations to go with it. Then there is the food to buy and the cakes and pies and puddings to make. Then your teenage daughter says she is going to a fancy dress party and hasn’t got anything to wear-or her younger brother is given a part in the church nativity and they don’t have a costume for him to wear. Making costumes for these events often falls on the mother who may then enlist the help of her own mother and her husband. With everything else that mothers and fathers find themselves having to do at Christmas time; they can sometimes do with some help on ideas for children’s Christmas costumes.
If you’ve been given the job of producing some sort of outfit then there are plenty of sources of ideas for children’s Christmas costumes. You only have to look on the internet or round the shops to see how popular these outfits are. Nowadays it can just as easily be the Nightmare Before Christmas as it is a nativity play-although it may not be so easy to produce those kinds of costumes as it is to produce an outfit for your little shepherd.
Sometimes children get invited to parties where they have to dress up as Father Christmas or one of his elves-this is also the time when you might be looking for ideas for making Christmas costumes. Any jacket and trousers will do for these outfits providing you can dye them red and green respectively. Then all you need are some fluffy or furry pieces to go round the Santa suit-you can buy hats quite cheaply for Santa and for the elves. You can even make your little Santa a beard and some hair from cotton wool. When it gets to late fall then you may find ideas for making Christmas costumes in women’s magazines. There are the obvious ones like sewing sheets together and cutting holes to produce the loose garments that will do for both Mary and Joseph and for the shepherds. If you want some more elaborate ideas for making Christmas costumes then there are plenty of internet sites with some good information. If you really are pushed for both ideas and time then the simplest thing to do is to go out and buy your Christmas costumes. Some of these can be obtained quite cheaply and will save a lot of worry and energy.

Solomon Jones: Hail Labor Day, the rare inexpensive holiday
I LIKE LABOR DAY, and that's fitting, because I've labored in nearly every kind of job. I worked in an animal research lab and as a police dispatcher, in a drug store and as a supermarket cashier, in a picture frame factory and as a UPS truck loader. I even spent a week fueling airplanes back in the day . . . until I accidentally drove the fuel truck into the wing of a DC-10.
