be considered and the soft, flowing two-piece, is both flat­ tering and practical for all ages and types of figure. Length again varies according to taste. Hemlines range from ankle to as high as you wish to go, but remember, everyone has the optimum length for their shape. Colours are jewel bright


to match this festive season. Footwear is just “drop dead


glamorous”, with high, shape­ ly heeled slim styled suedes and patent leathers with jew­ elled details and lots of straps, generally in black to comple­ ment this year’s dark, bitter chocolate stockings and tights. Little miss will, like all little


girls before her, go for the puffiest, fluffiest frocks in bril­ liant hues with lots of frills and flounces. However long, slinky skirts and skinny tops are pushing their way in. Little master will as usual,


refuse anything but the digni­ fied. If he has to dress up, he’ll go for long dark trousers and sweater, or cargo pants with shirt worn outside. Getting


him out of his trainers for the occasion may however be a

choose his outfit according to his idea of fashion!! The tradi­ tional dinner suit with satin lapels, double-breasted, and worn with satin trimmed trousers, is still very much in. However, the longer line single- breasted jacket, mid-thigh length or longer, is creeping into High Street shops, and is worn with slimmer trousers than has been the fashion of late It looks very fetching. In dark fabric worn with a jewel coloured satin shirt, the effect can be staggering. However separates are still tops with men, and the latest flat front­ ed trousers, Nehru jacket and pure silk over-shirt, would make him stand out in any crowd. For Christmas Day of


course, something festive but comfortable is the order of the day, and les3 formal clothes are usually called for. Tradi­ tion here usually dictates sweaters, trousers and skirts in warm, bright colours and cheerful prints. Choose easy care fabrics for everyone since all that food can so easily splash or drop where it should­ n’t really be. Easy sizing too is sensible because if you over­ indulge (as usual), you’ll cer­ tainly need room for expan­ sion, be it ever so temporary. If you are thinking about


family fashion shopping for Christmas, better get down to it now while the shops are full

varies with geography and a large variety of dishes are enjoyed today. Australia: Christmas is in midsummer


and lunch is often a barbecue of prawns, steak and chicken with ice cream or sorbet for dessert, may be cooked at the beach. Czech Republic: Traditionally the meal is


eaten on Christmas Eve and consists of fish soup, salads, eggs and carp. The number of

ner will be a casserole of maca­ roni, rutabaga, carrot and potato, with ham or turkey. A mixed platter of meat and fish is also popular. After the meal it is traditional to have a sauna and then to visit the graves of relatives. Germany: Roast Goose is the favoured


Christmas meal, accompanied by potatoes, cabbage, carrots, parsnip and pickles. The meal is usually eaten on Christmas Eve. Rural southern Germany feast on game like wild boar and venison. Greenland: The Christmas feast may


include Little Auks, (these are seabirds that are a bit like Pen­ guins), wrapped in sealskin and buried for months until decomposed. Yum Yum!


Italy: Christmas lunch can run to


seven courses including antipasto, a small portion of pasta, roast meat, two salads, two sweet puddings followed by cheese, fruit, brandy and chocolates. Phew! Jamaica: The traditional Christmas


dinner is rice, gungo peas, chicken, ox tail and curried goat. Latvia: Christmas dinner is cooked


brown peas with bacon sauce, small pies, cabbage and sausage. Norway: The Christmas meal is eaten


on Christmas Eve and for coastal regions is traditionally cod, haddock and lutefisk. Inland pork chops, Christmas meatloaf and special sausages are eaten. Farmers follow tra­ dition by leaving a bowl of nisse (gruel) in barns on Christmas Eve for the magic gnome who protects their farms.
