So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Eye Catching Little Mermaid Costumes For The Imagination.

By Bob Anderson

As the little mermaid costume it is catching on like wildfire amongst ladies and children. Halloween attires demand lots of imagination, creativity and beauty from the participant. The adventures of mermaids, the half woman half fish being who lives in deep sea and rarely ventures out on the beach have made up for great bedtime stories. Disney added life to this character through Ariel. The costumes worn by Ariel soon gained popularity as little mermaid costume and it is the dream of every lady, old, young and small to wear this costume at least once.

Why is the idea of mermaids so enchanting and beguiling? The idea of half human half fish creatures, who's singing lured sailors in deep sea, the little mermaid costume fuels every one's imagination.

The licensed version of Disney features little mermaid costume in a specific color combination and pattern. The costume of Ariel consisted of a bikini style top in blue color and a green colored skirt to represent the sea. The mermaid is signified by a tail and the costume creates this illusion in two ways. One is a tight fin like skirt that holds the legs together restricting free movement and the other is a flared out skirt at the back. Youngsters experiment the little mermaid costume in various colors such as the vibrant red or purple or metallic gold, silver and other shiny colors.

While the children's little mermaid costume come in two piece, the bikini top and the skirt with the midriff being naked, adults costume comes with a skin colored fabric in between. Ariel has a reputation to maintain and adults surely don't want to convey wrong messages.

All you will need is a sequined fabric for the top and similar colored shirt, tulle and ribbons, a different colored (preferably in green shades) sequined or plan fabric for the skirt with similar colored tulle, ribbons and netting, plain white headband, and 5 plastic shells in green color. Start by attaching the plastic shells to the front of the white headband using glue. Next attach the sequined fabric to the front top part of the shirt leaving 3 inches extra on all sides. This will act like flaps or fins when it hangs loose on the shirt.

If the costume is for a child or a toddler, it should be comfortable to run or jump around in. Getting children to sit quite when they are attired in costumes is almost impossible.

Another important feature of the little mermaid costume is the red hair and the tiara made from seashells. You will want to confirm if these come with the costume as otherwise you may need to buy it separately. Adults can have their hair colored in temporary colors, which goes away in few washes while the kids should preferably wear red colored wigs. The little mermaids hair is long and free flowing so style them accordingly.

The other accessories that go well with little mermaid costume is seashell necklaces and bracelets, silver flip flops and flat white shoes. Since walking around in a little mermaid outfit might be difficult, you want to wear proper footwear to avoid tripping.
