One night, The Virgin Mary was visited by an angel named Gabriel, and was told she will be having a baby, destined to be the son of God and his name would be Jesus.
Everyone gathered to Bethlehem after they heard about the son of God’s birth. Three wisemen followed a bright star in the sky as they travelled far and wide to welcome Jesus into the world, with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. A donkey carried Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem where there was no space at the inn except for a stable and a manger where the baby would shortly be born. The only thing in their way was King Herod who was horrified by the news, but he didn’t stand a chance against the son of God.
The angels, wisemen, shepherds, and animals all gathered in the stable to welcome the new life of Jesus! Since then, on the 25th of December, every year, we celebrate Christmas.

A street party after England’s game is a great way of, hopefully, celebrating victory! So make sure there is plenty of food and drink and lots of different flags of the world to wave.
During this festival of football, you don’t only need to know each country’s kit, you most importantly need to know their flags. That is why we have arranged a quick quiz to help you warm up.
Q1.
Popular periods in History - Ideas for nasty or nice characters from these raucous and romping past eras.
Imagine being a Roman gladiator fighting in the Colosseum before a crowd of thousands or even Julius Caesar in all his majesty!
Roman costumes can be amazingly effective, using the simplest accessories. Fake blood is essential to bring the gladiator to life, so don’t stint on it and spread it over arms and legs with effective splashes on the face. Rub some sandy coloured face paint on and an arena appearance has been created. Be sure to hold a net and a trident as weapons and these finishing touches will really make you look the part.
Roman costumes aren’t simply for the boys either. Girls look lovely as Roman goddesses, draped in flowing robes and with beautifully styled hair. Carrying an ornate jug or platter adorned with grapes makes for elegance

Before you indulge in 1920s fancy dress it is important to remember that it was a dramatic transition in the fashion world, particularly in women's clothing. Ladies of the era shucked off the more restrictive corsets and floor length skirts of the previous century and began to embrace looser-fitting clothing with dropped waits lines and shorter hemlines.
When you think of the 1920s these days the outfit which immediately springs to mind is the sexy, stream-lined 'flapper' dress, which came to prominence during that decade and was the staple evening wear for women attending parties and other society events.

So, how do you wear cowgirl fancy dress? Here you'll find all the tips and tricks you need to make the most of National Day of the Cowboy.
Famous cowgirl fancy dress idols
Famous cowgirls such as Dale Evans, Sacagewea, Annie Oakley, Velma Bronn Johnston and Sandra Day O'Connor epitomise the true spirit of the cowgirl: pioneering, courageous, independent, tenacious and not afraid to speak out against injustice.
They were also incredibly stylish for the era, instigating their own sense of masculine style that meant not all women had to wear dresses and skirts. Arguably the most famous cowgirl was the American frontierswoman, Calamity Jane.
