As we all know it’s during the Halloween holiday when spending for costumes is at its highest, but did you know that there are other holidays that costume sales skyrocket?  Christmas of course is always popular with Santa and Mrs. Claus costumes, as well as Santa’s helper’s and the famous Frosty the Snowman.  The snowman is a perfect costume for Flordia or California.  My sister lives in Florida and last her she got the Snowbaby costume for her 2 year old son and all the neighbors loved it.  There he was in his snowball costume with the big floppy black felt hat and plush red scarf around his neck looking all bundled up, but instead of snow boots he wore a pair of flip flops.  It was the perfect accessory for a Florida Snowman!

Another Holiday near and dear to my heart is Thanksgiving.  It’s during this holiday that many grade school children give plays depicting the historical Thanksgiving feast at Plymouth Plantation with Colonial Pilgrim and Indian costumes.  The children look adorable all dressed up in these historical costumes.

Halloween will be here before you know it then right around the corner is Thanksgiving and Christmas!  There are so many great holiday costumes to pick from here at HalloweenExpress.com that it’s hard to pick just one.  In that case, go with a group of friends as Santa, Mrs. Claus and one or two of Santa’s helpers.  Or make it a group Thanksgiving effort with Pilgrims and Indians of all shapes and sizes.  This year bring a new holiday to Halloween by wearing one of our great holiday costumes!  

Don’t you remember when you were little and used to pretend you were a princess or a fairy Godmother or the little boys who dreamed of being a cowboy or an astronaut?  Halloween is that one time of year that you can pretend and have it come true!  That’s why Halloween is so exciting to young children.  They get to dress up, trick-or-treat for candy and just “pretend”.  Now that I’m all grown up, it’s still fun to pretend on Halloween.  It brings out the child in me.   

Today many people aren’t happy with their chosen career paths.  Wouldn’t it be nice to switch jobs with someone that’s in a career that you know you’d love and “pretend” to be that person?  Maybe you’ve always dreamed of being a doctor or a nurse – maybe a fireman or police officer.  Well Halloween gives you the chance to “try on” someone else’s occupation.  Girls, how cool would it be to become a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader  for the night or guys, what about an   Old Tyme Baseball Player like in the movie, “Field of Dreams”.  If there is something you’ve always wanted to be then go for it!  Halloween Express has so many wonderful career and occupation costumes to pick from you’re bound to see something you like! Career and Occupation Halloween Costumes   

Speaking of careers and occupations, have you seen the show “Dog, the Bounty Hunter”?  Now that’s one career I’d have to leave to the professionals!   Duane "Dog" Chapman – the world’s most famous bounty hunter hunts down fugitives with his wife Beth and his fearless Posse giving them that one-of-a-kind dose of tough love only Dog can provide.  My dad never misses an episode!  If you’re looking for that perfect, and I do mean perfect, couple costume – look no further!  Dog, the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth would definitely be the hit of the party!
