Big box of festivities

Fancy dress day at work today to get us all into the spirit of Christmas at last.  Some people can be such Scrooge's this time of year! I personally love Christmas and not only because its the perfect excuse to get all glammed up but because I truly believe Christmas is a time for family and friends.  There is nothing better than having a night in with your family, all crushed on to one couch watching a classic on the box like Miracle on 34th Street, whilst the lights on the tree are twinkling and the fire (electric) is (mimicking) crackling.

Anyway I'm getting sidetracked thinking of home.  So back to fancy dress at work.  If you have any festive fancy dress parties coming up then I have a few ideas to share with you...

  • Christmas Cracker - Easily made out of card.  Warning this must be worn vertically or else you will get stuck in doorways
  • Christmas Present - Get a large box wrap in festive paper them simply cut out arm, leg and head holes, a large bow warn as a little hat adds a cutsie look to this otherwise boxy outfit (ha ha geddit)
  • Box of Christmas decorations - Saved the best till last. Again get a large box like above but this time step into the box and wear it around your stomach and attach braces made out of ribbons to it so that you don't have to constantly hold it up.  Next get loads of tinsel, baubles etc and staple all over the box so that it looks like its all spilling out.  Finally wear a sparkly top and completely cover it in yet more decorations and then just plaster yourself in glitter (optional but fun)!!!

My amazing 'Box of Christmas decorations' outfit...
