rudolph with a red nose

antlers, santa hats and tinsel

Elf on the shelf is easy. A green t shirt and brown trousers means you can hang a few baubles on,a bit of tinsel and you have a Christmas tree. There's good old antlers and a red nose from Comic Relief andyou have Rudolph. Finally, a box wrapped up with some ribbon, and Voila! A present.

An Elf or a Christmas Tree would be a good choice of costume

My little brother always dresses up as santa and runs across the garden then chats to my children and their cousins about Christmas. I think my youngest boys (1 and 2 years old} would look really cute dressed as elves!

My son Loves anything scary so as long as he has some sort of cape The dress part of it easy. However the face painting takes an age as he likes scars and bloody wounds! Although one year I had to manage Bart Simpson!

easy to do an angel with a white dress, tinsel, wire coat hanger halo with tinsel again and white fairy wings

Problem with Fancy Dress at Xmas is that we have seen all of the fairy's and santa's and other costumes hundreds of times before. I would go as the Invisible man. I wonder how many of the party goers, especially after a few drinks will tell me that they can actually see me. Of course they will be be seeing things won't they?

Stripy leggings or red leggings, green jumper, little hat = elf. Im rubbish at fancy dress ideas!

They love being angels. My DS would look cute as a sprout though

Ooh I think dressing up as the grinch would be fab, for all, adults and children.x

my nieces like to dress as princesses - they look pretty convincing and we recommend it because it gives confidence

Being veggies I'd love to see a Nut Roast outfit instead of the Turkey!

My DS has asked to dress as a gingerbread man for his School Christmas party...no idea where it's come from but it's different, so we're going to run with it! I just need my lovely Mummy and her sewing machine's help!

I had a great Christmas party where I dressed up as an elf - see for yourself :)

They love being elves.

One of Santa's elves ...green cord trousers and xmas jumper, christmas hat and false pointed ears and red cheeks made with face paint.

Fairies for girls and elves for boys

Customised outfit for my daughter, white leggings and Lacey dress/ top with silver tinsel for her angel this year

Santa Claus outfit

Dd wants to be Santa! I am toying with trying to throw something together. There will be a nativity at nursery but we aren't told what they will be and aren't asked to do costumes.

Mrs Clause if it was me that had to dress up!

remember DS dressing up as a Christmas tree. The outfit involved that fake grass and some cheap battery fairy lights and baubles pinned on.

Is christmas fancy dress even a thing??

I'd just wear green and drape tinsel and baubles to become a christmas tree.

A pair of white leggings, a lovely white hoody with eyes stitched on and some felt ears added and hey ho instant sheep :) not forgetting the tail :)
