Christmas Costumes » Elf Costumes

Santa's helpers are the elves. They have the most important job of all; they make toys! If not for the elves, Santa would not be able to deliver toys to all the good boys and girls around the world. This year everyone can dress just like Santa's helpers in their own Christmas elf costumes.

Those who have seen elves with Santa at the mall and other places know that elf costumes usually consist of green and red clothes with pointed elf boots and hats. Depending on the job an elf does determines the style of the elf costume. Toy makers wear tunics and tights so they are comfortable while they work. Other elves wear festive green coats with black belts. The most important accessory for an elf costume is a big smile because being Santa's helper is the best job in the world!

Buddy the Elf is perhaps the most contemporary elf of all made famous from the movie Buddy. If you were a fan of this soon-to-be classic Christmas movie, you'll love wearing Buddy the Elf costume. You can even pair it with Jovi, Buddy's elf girlfriend from Gimbles department store. You'll make a jolly pair. This would even make a great couples costume for Halloween.

Elf costumes for Christmas are ideal for everyone. There are styles that can be worn by the entire family - great for the annual Christmas card photo. If you really want to get into the spirit of Christmas you can be an honorary elf by wearing your elf costume while wrapping and assembling gifts, while baking Christmas cookies and while hosting holiday parties.
