Christmas Fantasy Lingerie

Indulging in Christmas Fantasy Lingerie

When it’s cold outside, you want to create a little heat inside. Some people do that with matching pajamas, but other people like Christmas fantasy lingerie. For men, it’s mostly slightly naughty Santa costumes (perhaps that’s where the idea for the song I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus came from?). For women, it’s many variations on helpful elves and Mrs. Claus. There are probably some people who think it’s improper to take iconic symbols and turn them into fodder for intimacy, but it absolutely fits the pagan roots of Christmas. Intimacy was a perfect way to acknowledge the earth’s promise that spring would come again.

Shopping for Christmas Fantasy Lingerie

There are enough variations on holiday lingerie available that it doesn’t hurt to start shopping early so that you can take your time to choose. Also, depending on where you are, you may need to confine your shopping to online stores. This can be a problem with lingerie, because unless you are buying teddies or nightgowns, it can be hard to get the right fit without trying something on first. Most online shops recognize this and have a good exchange policy. But as fast as the shipping might be, the nearer you get to Christmas, the busier the post office becomes. Therefore, when you want something specific to surprise and delight someone on Christmas Eve, it’s best to have it ready by early December.

Choices in Holiday Lingerie

Not surprisingly, most choices in Christmas lingerie are on the naughty side. This is definitely not an instance when you want to be seen as nice! At popular online lingerie shop 3 Wishes, for example, there are many fun options:

• Hef’s Holiday Honey is a Playboy Santa costume that features a red stretch velvet drop-waist halter dress with daring ribbon lace-up sides. It’s got a Santa-style belt at the hips with the Playboy bunny logo on the buckle. White faux fur trims the top of the bosom and the edge of the dress. There are faux fur boot cuffs and a red Santa hat with a pom-pom.

• Frosty the Snow Vixen is a great option for creating a winter wonderland. It includes a strapless white faux fur mini-dress with feather trim and a ribbon lace-up back, a black floppy hat with red plaid trim and a matching scarf.

• Sexy Elf is for those who look great in green and are into being helpful. It’s a plunging halter baby doll with a tiny red bow to hold the front closed. The skirt is finished in an elf hem with jingle bell trim. Included is a thong and matching hair bow with jingle bells.

If you already have some appropriate lingerie and just need accessories, you can choose from striped stockings or some with faux fur trim and any number of great gloves. 3 Wishes also offers free shipping.

Creating Your Own Fantasy

If you want to indulge in a fantasy but feel like buying lingerie specifically for the event is just not in the budget right now, you can always build your own Yuletide look by accessorizing lingerie you already have. Anything red or green can be used as a base. Starting in November, most fabric and craft stores will have white maribou and red plaid trim available, as well as jingle bells. You can baste the trim and bells to your bra and panties and even make a matching headdress. Add black boots and gloves and it will be a very merry Christmas indeed.
