In the same vein as readering, I quite fancy being the White Witch from Narnia. Not because I hate Christmas but I love the iconic image of Tilda Swinton, all decked out in furs on her sleigh and eating Turkish Delight.

Any of the ghosts from 'A Christmas Carol'. I love spooky costumes - even better when combined with a bit of Christmas tinsel!

An Elf. The best Christmas film by far!
I would look a delight in Chatsworth House.

My daughter would probably want to go as Macauley culkin from home alone lost in New York. She absolutely loves that film and wants to play in the toy shop once it's closed for the night.

Me - anything Christmassy is fab so I agree with an Elf, great film. ☺️
