As the christmas season rolls around we start to notice that many people start to dress up as Santa. Whether it's for Santa Con, or dressing up for kids on Christmas Day or even just for the holiday spirit. Santa's classic red and white style becomes the trend of the season between the ugly christmas sweaters or crazy christmas jewelry. Its the time of year where its completely okay to wear red, white and green all together, meanwhile during the rest of the year it may seem completely bazar. During this time its very festive and seeing these costumes is very common.
