What to wear to work Christmas party dinner cruise?
Looks like the dressing policy is quite open (jeans or dinner dresses?), but keep on the conservative and formal side. Depending on the weather, you can wear dress pants and a nice blouse, with a jacket in case it gets chilly. Try on different tops with the pants. A cashmere sweater with a great necklace would work too, or a twin set in a nice color. A dark suit would be suitable too. Again, the weather is a key factor. I think a dinner dress is the same as a cocktail dress. If you wear one you might feel overdressed, in case a lot of people go in jeans (I really don't think they do, but if the secretary said so...) Enjoy!
What Christmas outfit (shirt, turtleneck, dress, skirt, pantyhose, knee-high socks) should I wear?
The hunt for the perfect party dress can take up lots of valuable time, which most of us don't have at this busy time of year, while we're busy hunting for presents, ordering turkeys and sorting out the table seating, so aunt Lynne doesn't sit next to cousin Mabel...So i have scoured the high street and rounded up our favourite dresses, leaving you time to focus on Christmas Shopping and tracking down the perfect mine.It's time to get dressed up with more than somewhere to go, so get your sparkle on with these pretty things.These are the few ideas I can share with you.
The Christmas clothes-What special clothes does your family wear on Christmas day?
Relaxed generally. We stay in PJ's until late, close to lunch, then cook a big lunch, so we change but still stay comfy. Probably just jeans. Growing up my brother and I would always want to wear one of our new outfits. Now that I have a son, I will prolly put him in something nice and christmasy to take pictures.
What are some Christmas gift ideas for women in 2018?
It depends on how close you are to this woman. Is she a co-worker, a lover or girlfriend, your mother, your sister, your wife?If she's an associate or Co worker, you can never go wrong with a gift card to her favorite place to go for lunch inside a simple merry Christmas card.If she's your lover of girlfriend, jewelry is a good idea. Get her that necklace that compliments your favor outfit you like to see her wear. Get her a gift card to her favorite restaurant, and take her out on a date night. Get her a gift card to her favorite store to buy a new outfit so you can take her out.If she's your mother, I don't know, because I don't know what I'm giving my mother, maybe a gift basket of things she usually has to buy like food items, or something, or a family picture if you have a family of your own.If it's your sister, you probably know her well enough, but can't got wrong with the ever loved gift card to wherever fits her personality so well.If it's your wife, and she says she wants nothing, you better give her lots of jewelry and gift cards to everywhere, and take her out on a date to top it off. Haha jk, just give her that little something she's always wanted, but never gets, because she's so selfless, and deserves it. But it doesn't hurt to do the other stuff too. I hope the answer I gave helps
Why should people dress up nicely for holiday dinners at a family member’s house when you will just be at home and not out in public?
Who says you should? That is going to depend solely on the family you are visiting and what your or their custom/tradition is? What do you consider dressing nicely?For many people Thanksgiving dinner (for example) is as much about the football as it is about the meal. You’ll see people wearing jeans, shorts, sweatpants along with their favorite jersey or tee shirt sporting the teams colors or logo.For others it’s about being with family honoring an elder patriarch or matriarch, this would likely be closer to a situation where people would actually wear nicer clothes with slacks, button up shirts and maybe a tie for men, nice dresses for women. It’s about honor and respect. Part of that honor is showing that you are willing to put on your best for them.Dress appropriately for the situation and the group you are with. I would rather come dressed in slacks and a button up shirt and show up and have everyone in jeans and tee shirts than vice versa for sure.
Do your parents dress up during Christmas?
Dress up??My parents always expected everyone attending Christmas Eve (whuch included the formal dinner ) to dress nicely...semi-formal ..because it lent a graciousness to a special occasion. As kids we were also encouraged to abandon our casual clothes and to honor the occasion. Christmas dinner always began with a serious moment of Bible reading.My father was also always the Father Christmas and used to wear the appropriate suit and beard.You may be interested in this funny story.After having done the above for many years whilst our boys were still young my husband eventually refused to “be father Christmas “ any more. But in 2000 our family was disturbed by my brother moving to the UK. This was the first time my mother would be without him at Christmas...which we knew would be incredibly difficult for her. So we decided to change the mood to something lighter and to get my young son who was ten at the time, to dress in the Father Christmas suit!!! It was very cute and funny to see him in this suit, normally worn by grandpa or Dad, sitting on His Dad's knee! I still have the pictures. It's really giggle funny!! My son was a born actor and he didn't mind at all .

What is your personal family heritage?
My paternal side has at least 10 generations born in England, including myself. That makes me 1/2 English. My mother's family come from Belgium and Switzerland, and we've found 5 generations on each side so far, born in both of those countries. However before that I've been assured we had ancestors living in the Alsace (France/Germany), and also in Holland. These aren't confirmed by censuses or certificates, so I'm not 100% on these just yet. There aren't really any traditions in our family, aside from the cultural differences. ie, we celebrate one Christmas on St Nicks day (6th December) with my mother, since that's how she was raised, and we have a family dinner on Christmas Eve. On Christmas day we celebrate with our dad. My grocery store list does NOT reflect my heritage (LOL, good question!). My family can cook lovely meals, but I think their culinary skills skipped my generation! My mode of dress doesn't really reflect my heritage. It reflects the country I live in and the fashions that are around. I don't go out buying the latest trends just to be fashionable, but I don't go around wearing farmers outfits to mimick the agricultural labourers on my father's side.
What do Mexican people wear for Christmas?
In Mexico we tend to celebrate Christmas Eve instead of Christmas. During Christmas we usually stay at home in our pijamas.During Christmas Eve, in my family we all wear something in between a nice jeans and a buttoned shirt to business casual attire. There's only that awkward cousin who wears crocs.I would think most urban families dress similarly.In rural parts of the country, people might wear a cowboy hat.There's also many indigenous communities who have their own attire, but many probably don't celebrate Christmas.Mexico is really diverse.
