Maybe the tooth fairy? Just to confuse people.

I didn't realize people considered Christmas as a time for costuming.

When I was ten I was an angel for the school Christmas presentation.
My mother made a robe and wings for me to wear.
Was a non speaking part.

I think I was chosen because I was the other tallest girl in my grade.
We had to stand while all six grades went through their routines.

We have a fun tradition here called 'Julebukk'. It means Christmas Buck or Goat. You're 'Christmas bucking/goating'. We dress up in costumes and masks and walk around the neighborhood ringing peoples doorbells. And when they open no one says anything and people then try to guess who is hiding under the costumes. You can't speak because then they will of course recognize the voices. Sometimes people sing a Christmas song and is then rewarded with candy. And fun is had by all.

Agreed. In the USA, the most I've ever dressed up, at Christmastime, is a nice dress and styled hair. I have donned many Santa hats or reindeer antlers/candy cane headbands or barrettes.

Back in school, we would have classroom parties and also big formal presentations for the parents. All the girls would wear dresses that were red and green, or Santa colors. I think I've dressed up as an elf, and also as an angel for these themed events.

We had one of those ornaments we'd picked up in Germany I believe. Didn't realize we were inadvertantly worshipping Thor. Luckily one of the dogs ate it.

I usually wear whatever I get under the tree. When I was a kid it was our main resupply of clothing. I still like the feeling of wearing all fresh new things at least once a year. But these days it's Tee shirts, sweats, a warm jacket or sweater shirt and new underclothes, socks and sneakers/boots. Also maybe gloves, scarf and pull over hat. Then I walk around the house singing stupid things like 'I got new clothes, I got new clothes, what about you?"

Yeah I have those straw goats in different sizes. Some hanging on the tree and one big enough to ride it around the livingroom. It's a very typical Christmas decoration.

Here's a big one in Sweden.

At work. During a christmas lunch for all teachers and other employees I dressed up in a santa suit. I thought it was funny. Others didn`t really seem to get it.
We were supposed to wear christmas sweaters which we call "foute kersttruien dag" (wrong christmas sweater day) to see who would wear the ugliest sweater. As usually I forgot or was not notified and people commented on me not going along with it. As a counter I had my wife bring me my cheap santa suit to go a step beyond what we were supposed to do because I had forgotten about it.|
During christmas with the family I once wore a suit that was dark red covored in penguins with christmas hats on.

I guess it's ok as long as they don't burn people inside it on midwinter.

The way I feel about Christmas, I would probably dress up as the Krampus.

Online people seem to do the same. They choose between a reindeer character or a cute elf character or the funky grinch, the traditional Santa Claus/Odin or a joke twist on it.

Santa Claus of Christian origin was ispired by Paganism, by Odin (Father Yule), the Norse god and the traditions around him.

I don't really dress up at Christmas, in a costume anyway. Most people would find that really weird unless you're playing Santa. But I do wear t-shirts that have The Grinch or Mickey and Minnie kissing under the mistletoe on them. Last month I wore them a couple of times when I went out because Christmas in July, lol.

One year, however, I dressed up as Fiona from Shrek for the annual Santa Claus parade. We had lots of people in it dressed like classic cartoon characters. It was a real who's who of cartoondom: Looney Tunes, Disney, and maybe a few Muppets.

That's a well-guarded secret. It's a trojan yule goat.

Very unique. I like the Kram.

Why do you dislike Christmas?

 

[Luca]

I’ve never worn a costume at Christmas time, but I usually wear a dress or a sweater that is red or green, or plaid.

I love the Christmas spirit, but it’s not my favorite holiday because my family is awful lol. Same reason I despise Thanksgiving.
Halloween is more my thing.

Programmers make that mistake all the time.
