Alternative Nativity Costumes Proving Popular According To All Fancy Dress
It used to be the case that children would only wear the traditional kinds of costumes for nativity plays, such as Mary, Joseph and the ‘little donkey’. But, according to costume retailer All Fancy Dress, more and more nativity plays are featuring ‘alternative’ costumes.
According to Marketing Director Matt Foden, "Many of our customers are now purchasing alternative nativity costumes for their children. Indeed it’s not unusual for school nativity plays to feature a whole variety of animals nowadays, including penguins, bears, and even giraffes. And whilst the use of such animals may not be ‘historically accurate’ it’s fair to say that it does encourage more diversity and a sense of playfulness and fun. It’s quite a sight to behold such a wide array of fancy dress costumes on display!"
Sales of the more traditional nativity costumes are still strong however, with the most sought after being Mary, Joseph, and an array of different shepherd outfits. The Little Donkey makes an appearance in the top 10 costumes, as do the three kings.
According to Matt, "It’s great to see that schools are widening the range of animals being featured in nativity plays. Many would argue that it goes against the traditions of Christmas, but personally I think it adds a greater sense of colour and fun to the event."
All Fancy Dress is a top supplier of costumes and accessories in the UK. They hold over 3,000 different costumes in stock, and serve the UK and Europe. Orders can be placed online or via their dedicated sales hotline, which offers customers advice on all aspect of fancy dress costumes and accessories.

The Salvation Army’s work is set to bloom this Christmas
A special charity bouquet has been created by internet retailer Flying Flowers to help fund the International organisation’s projects to support the homeless, families struggling to cope, the elderly or lonely and individuals who want to overcome addictions.
Major Ray Irving, Territorial Social Services Secretary said: “The Salvation Army has a long history of offering practical support to people who are vulnerable or in need and we are needed this Christmas more than ever.
“We rely on the generosity of others and are so grateful to Flying Flowers for creating a special charity Christmas bouquet. This means that people can buy festive flowers for that special someone whilst helping us help others.”
Two pounds from the sale of each Salvation Army Charity Bouquet, priced at £25.99 will go directly to the charity. The stunning display features scented red Freesia, red Roses, Ming Fern and festive Gold Beargrass.
Last year the flower company – which celebrated 30 years in business earlier this year – raised over £7,000 on behalf of charity from sales of its Christmas bouquet.
Tom Barker, Flying Flowers’ Brand Manager, added: “We love this time of year, when we can really spoil our loved ones. But it’s even better when you know you’re doing your bit for charity, too. That’s why our experts have created the stunning Salvation Army Charity Bouquet, as it’s a charity that’s close to our – and our customers’ – hearts. Hopefully we can raise just as much, if not more, than we did last year for such a worthy cause.”

Festive chores dominate Christmas family time
toptable research reveals Brits spend over 2 working days planning and delivering their perfect Christmas celebration.
British families are spending less time with each other and more in the kitchen and supermarket, according to a Christmas survey by the leading online consumer destination for restaurant bookings in the UK, toptable.com
Despite Christmas being traditionally earmarked as a time to spend with the family, more hours are being spent planning festive celebrations and doing the chores. Over half (51%) of respondents admitted spending up to five hours planning the Christmas dinner, with a further 42% saying they will commit to three or four hours preparing and cooking the meal for the family, rather than spending time with them. In fact, nearly one in two (46%) also owned up to doing the cleaning for two hours instead of sitting down with their loved ones.
Supermarkets are also popular attractions for families as over a third of respondents (36%) confessed to trawling the shops for approximately four hours to make sure they have planned every mealtime. What’s more, one in five (19%) even tend to miss their family arriving for Christmas altogether, as they are too busy with festive chores.
The number of people catered for over the holidays can also have a big effect on the amount of work required. The study revealed that over a third (35%) of hosts tend to cater for an average of eight different people over the Christmas period, with a further one in three (33%) families arguing about a lack of helpers with the festive preparations!
Head of restaurant relations at toptable, Lucy Taylor says: “We know that Christmas can be an extremely busy time for families and sometimes you forget what the holiday is all about – spending time with them. Families can save hours of stress by taking time out and booking a local restaurant over the festive period.”
