Elf yourself this christmas but with a real costume

Read article

I've received a trillion newsletters with the fancy "elf yourself" website that turns a picture of you into a christmas elf... honestly I think it takes a little effort to dress yourself like it and really we're approaching this very special season.... It's a good time to watch cartoon and familiar movies on tv and cinemas and I admit it's one of my favourite moments of the year... despite the weather (coughs with a cold!!). Maybe it has to be with the sparkling lights and all those tiny sparkling things everywhere...  Like Jack Skellington said in "A Nightmare before Xmas" ..."what's this? what's this? there's colour everywhere....", or if you are more fond of the classical and sweeter "Polar Express" which portrayed them so covered with sugar that could trigger diabetes. Still with measure and all in between you can do it for your children, or even turn it into a less naive thing combining different elements, and well, it's the season, isn't it? so here we go with a few recommendations: So yes anything RED, GREEN AND GOLDEN will suit... !!
