It is one of nature’s most amazing and beautiful feats. The following snow facts will provide you with fun winter conversation, as you warm your mittens by the fire: Fresh snow typically contains 90-95% trapped air, meaning heat transfer is greatly reduced, which explains its property as a good thermal insulator. Guinness World Records lists the largest snowflake at 15 inches across, a record held in Keogh, Montana, USA, since 1887. Here’s another cool thing about snow...you can buy it at Costume Craze! There's no need to get cold trying to push snow into an angel shape with your body. We have a Snow Angel Costume that’s heavenly as it is "Snow White." Speaking of Snow White, we have those costumes, too. And Frosty was never as attractive as our Snowman Costumes! Be sure to take advantage of our Blowout Sale, our prices have fallen like snow! A Toast to SavingsOn New Year’s Eve, many of us rang in the New Year with a toast. But where did the concept of toasting originate, and why is it called toasting? As early as the 6th Century B.C., the Greeks were toasting to their friends' health to assure them that the wine they were about to drink wasn't poisoned. (Spiking the wine with poison had become a common means of dealing with social problems, like disposing of enemies or preventing messy divorces.) The Romans adopted this tradition, as well as the practice of dropping a piece of burnt bread into their wine to reduce its acidity, making it more palatable. This tradition continued through Shakespeare's time. Today, there’s no need to plop burnt toast into your wine. But it’s still popular to toast the good things in life...like our Blowout Sale! Get the New Year off to a good start by saving loads of money on every Costume Craze item you buy. Shipping is only $2.99, and orders over $50 ship for free!
