Does anyone ever give a second thought to Mrs. Santa? After all, she and Santa have been married these many years, but no one knows her first name. Edith, Margaret, Lucille? Who knows.Has anyone ever seen her?
As a matter of fact, I have. She’s a bit younger than Santa and has a very pretty, round face with glowing red cheeks and a huge smile. Unlike a few characterizations of her where she looks like Santa’s granddaughter, all dolled up with a short skirt; Mrs. Santa dresses appropriately for her age and standing.She, like Santa, always wears red. Mrs. Santa’s dress is floor length and has full-length sleeves trimmed in white fur around the cuffs and collar. She might wear sneakers for all I know, as her shoes are never seen.Her hair is white and upswept into a little knot at the top, sometimes with a little curl coming down over her left ear, not unlike a Colonial ladies hairstyle. But then again, she was around during that period of history too.Here comes Mrs. Santa Claus. Here comes Mrs. Santa Claus. Right down Mrs. Santa Claus’s lane…..as goes the song.

Time To Buy Your Santa Claus Suit
Halloween is over, and now it’s time to start Christmas shopping; at least for a new (or maybe replacement) Santa Claus costume. That’s one Christmas purchase that shouldn’t be left until closing time on Christmas Eve. Around Thanksgiving, we will go into more detail about what you need to know about Santa Suits, but this is just a reminder about Christmas and Santa.
What does a typical Santa suit consist of? Most Santa Claus costumes will be nearly complete with a coat, pants, hat, belt and boot tops, sometimes called leggings. Sometimes an inexpensive wig and beard will be included, and sometimes not.
Of course the Santa suit, pants and hat will be red, although there is quite a range of fabrics and qualities available.
The coat will generally have a 3-4″ wide stripe down the from and around the bottom of the coat and matching cuffs. The hat will have white trim around the base of the hat and probably a white ball on top of the hat.
The least expensive suits are made of felt or a non-descript fabric, and both the suit and the trim are made of the same fabric.
To enhance an inexpensive suit, adding a plush trim over the existing trim will greatly improve the costume. Of course, that involves a trip to a fabric store and additional costs, but the appearance of the suit will be immeasurably better.
Unfortunately, both the quality of the belts and the boot tops / leggings could be better, as both are normally made of high gloss, cheap vinyl material. Santa’s belt (about 4″ wide) buckle offsets this somewhat as it sometimes is the focal point of Santa’s midsection.
Oh. Boot tops. What are boot tops? They are a black glossy vinyl (or another type of plastic) leg covering that starts at the knee and extend below the ankle to simulates boots.
Wig and beards. Or is it Beards and wigs? You might find a set, or just a beard, in the carton with your newly purchased suit. More likely you will need to purchase it separately, but depending upon your need, the maybe enclose hairpiece and beard will suffice.
On pricing. A cursory glance at a few sites indicate that you might locate a suit for as little as $50 or thereabouts. On the high end, you probably don’t want to know; but think four digits.
As a longtime owner of a theatrical, masquerade and Halloween costume business; I have an extensive knowledge and background in all areas of costuming. Our blogsite is a clearing house of costume ideas, suggestions and information as it relates to your costuming needs.

Halloween is Only 361 Days Away
It’s never too early to plan for next Halloween. It’s only 361 days away and the countdown starts now.
So after 5 or 7 or 9 years of buying costumes, you should have a decent wardrobe for next year. If you have enough, you might be able to take one part from one costume and another part from another costume and even make a ‘new’ costume.
If you don’t have enough bits and pieces to make another costume, this is a great time to ‘buy forward, so to speak.
The Halloween shops have probably closed, packed and vacated your city by now; but if you have a local costume shop, they may or may not be willing to wheel and deal. No merchant wants to carry over their inventory until next season.
Some merchants have up to a 60% off of selected items for a limited time. You might want to take a look before these deals go away. Or check our Amazon Halloween costume store (look for the tab below our banner). If we find any, we will post them today or in a day or so.
