About Father Christmas

A forerunner ho later became interchangeable with Santa Claus in English speaking countries, Father Christmas was a merry old drunk who loved to celebrate Christmas! Best exemplified by the Ghost of Christmas Present in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol}, Father Christmas was often seen with long hair and a full beard and mustache of varying colors and wearing a long robe and hat, both trimmed in fur. Later on, during Victorian times, Father Christmas was often seen bearing gifts.

Dressing up as Father Christmas

Deck yourself out in a long set of Victorian Santa robes to pull off a unique take on Father Christmas. Choose from a variety of colors from brilliant gold, calming seasonal blue, or traditional red and green! Wear a Victorian Santa hat or crown yourself with a wreath over a long curly wig and beard and mustache in either white, or even brown or red!

Carry a large Christmas sack filled with toys to play the role to the hilt, passing out gifts to good little boys and girls.
